PREFACE. 


IN  the  preparation  of  this  Gazetteer  and  the  Map,  which  has  occupied 
nearly  three  years,  the  principal  object  has  been  to  present  a  work  as 
complete  and  comprehensive  as  the  present  state  of  statistical  and  geo 
graphical  knowledge  would  admit,  within  the  smallest  practical  size.  To 
accomplish  this  design,  and  make  it  eminently  practical  as  a  book  of 
reference,  the  principal  places  only  are  described  in  detail,  and  the  de 
scriptions  are  confined  for  the  most  part  to  matters  which  are  permanent 
in  their  character. 

The  great  inconvenience  attending  large  and  expensive  gazetteers,  in 
a  country  undergoing  such  vast  changes  and  improvements  as  ours,  is, 
that  much  of  the  detail  becomes  in  a  very  few  years  obsolete  and  use 
less.  The  author  has  therefore  preferred  to  substitute  a  larger  number  of 
places,  and  other  matter  of  a  less  ephemeral  nature.  And  the  Gazetteer 
is  offered  as  embracing  several  thousand  more  names  than  is  to  be  found 
in  any  other  single  work  of  a  similar  character.  Besides  the  usual  places, 
all  the  post  offices  in  the  United  States  are  given  from  the  official  list  of 
the  Post  Master  General  up  to  the  year  1837. 

Although  intended  to  accompany  the  Map  of  the  United  States,  yet 
the  Map  and  Book  are  not  necessarily  connected — each  being  complete  in 
itself,  with  the  single  exception  of  a  few  reference  initial  letters  of  towns 
and  villages  inserted  on  the  map,  where  it  was  impossible  conveniently  to 
give  the  names  in  full.  The  whole  work  taken  separately,  or  with  the 
Map,  is  particularly  calculated  for  business  men,  as  a  complete  geographi 
cal  reference. 

To  obtain  the  latest  information,  the  following  letter  was  extensively 
circulated  throughout  the  country,  particularly  in  the  western  and 
southwestern  sections. 

DEAR  SIR, 

Having  been  engaged  about  two  years  in  the  preparation  of  a 
large  MAP  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES,  the  engraving  of  which  is  nearly  fin 
ished,  to  be  accompanied  with  a  complete  REFERENCE  GAZETTEER; — and 
desirous  of  making  them  as  perfect  as  the  latest  geographical  knowledge 
of  our  country  will  admit,  especially  in  reference  to  the  increasing  and 
flourishing  states  of  the  west  and  southwest: — I  respectfully  request 
your  answer  to  the  following  questions,  or  either  of  them : 

1.  Have  any  new  counties  been  created  in  your  neighbourhood  or

state  within  the  last  two  years  ? — if  so,  give  the  names,  boundaries,  and 
population. 

2.  What  new  towns,  or  townships — their  situation,  &c.  ? 

3.  What  new  milages — their  situation,  population,  and  distances  from 
other  neighboring  villages? 

4.  What  canals  and  railroads,  or  other  internal  improvements,  have 
been  projected  or  completed  within  the  same  period — with  the  places 
connected  thereby  ? 

5.  What  new  public  or  stage  road  has  been  established  ? — and  please 
state,  generally,  such  other  information  as  may  be  interesting,  concern 
ing  your  section  of  the  country. 

Reasonable  compensation,  to  be  agreed  upon,  will  be  cheerfully  given 
for  manuscript  and  other  original  documents  and  surveys,  that  may  con 
tribute  to  the  perfection  of  the  Map  and  Gazetteer. 

Very  respectfully  yours,  &c., 

WILLIAM  CHAPIN. 

This  circular  elicited  many  answers  from  gentlemen  of  intelligence 
in  various  sections  of  the  country,  with  much  local  information  in  man 
uscript  and  otherwise,  for  which  the  author  owes  many  obligations. 

It  is  not  expected  that  this  work  is  free  from  errors.  It  would  be  im 
possible  from  its  difficult  and  complicated  nature  to  be  perfect.  But  no 
labor  nor  expense  has  been  spared  to  make  it  as  correct  and  acceptable 
to  the  public  as  possible. 

New  York,  June,  1838. 


GENERAL  VIEW  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 


As  many  of  the  principal  details  will  be  presented  in  the  descriptions  of  the  seve 
ral  states,  m  their  appropriate  places,  it  is  not  thought  necessary  to  give  them  here. 
This  article  will  therefore  be  confined  to  a  more  general  view  of  the  United  States 
and  the  territories,  and  to  such  particulars  as  cannot  be  so  well  embraced  in  any 
other  place. 

BOUNDARIES  AND  EXTENT. 

The  territory  of  the  United  States  is  bounded  on  the  N.  by  the  British  and  Rus 
sian  possessions ;  on  the  E.  by  N.  Brunswick  and  the  Atlantic  Ocean;  on  the  S.  by 
the  Gulf  of  Mexico ;  and  on  the  W.  by  the  Pacific  Ocean.  Its  general  length  E. 
and  W.  is  3000  miles;  its  breadth  N.  and  S.,  from  the  Lake  of  the  Woods  to  the  S. 
point  of  Florida,  is  1700  miles.  Commencing  at  Passamaquoddy  Bay,  and  tra 
cing  the  whole  outline  of  the  U.  S.,  we  have  the  following  result : —

Entire  outline  10,200  miles. 

HISTORY. 

The  settlement  and  early  history  of  each  state  are  given  in  their  respective  places. 
The  first  settlement  by  the  English  was  in  1607.  From  that  period  to  1775,  the  col 
onies  were  under  the  government  of  Great  Britain.  On  the  4th  of  July,  1776,  the 
American  Congress  at  Philadelphia,  composed  of  the  Delegates  from  the  13  original 
states,  declared  their  Independence.  These  states  united  under  articles  of  Confed 
eration  in  Nov.  15,  1777,  and  continued  under  them  through  the  struggle  of  the 
Revolution,  and  until  the  year  1787,  when  the  present  Constitution  (since  amended) 
was  adopted.  The  13  states  which  adopted  the  Constitution  were  New  Hampshire, 
Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  Connecticut,  New  York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania, 
Delaware,  Maryland,  Virginia,  N.  Carolina,  S.  Carolina,  and  Georgia. 

The  original  cause  of  the  disaffection  of  the  colonies  towards  Great  Britain  was 
her  attempt  to  tax  them  without  their  consent  or  representation  in  the  British  Parlia 
ment.  The  effects  were  more  openly  manifested,  on  the  imposition  of  the  Stamp 
Act  in  1765,  and  in  the  duty  on  tea.  The  Colonists  determined  to  resist  the  importa 
tion  of  teas  under  this  duty.  Accordingly,  a  number  of  persons  collected  together, 
and  proceeded  to  some  ships  that  lay  at  the  Boston  wharves,  and  threw  their  car 
goes  of  tea  overboard.  The  British  ministry  determined  to  punish  this  aggression 
by  shutting  up  the  port  of  Boston,  and  garrisoning  the  town  with  troops.  The 
exasperation  of  the  people  on  this  intelligence  led  to  a  Congress  of  delegates  of 
the  Colonies,  who  assembled  in  Philadelphia  to  consider  the  best  means  of  redress. 
At  this  momentous  period  the  battle  of  Lexington  was  fought  between  the  British 
troops  and  the  undisciplined  and  half-armed  inhabitants,  near  Boston.  This  was 
the  first  blood  that  was  spilt— and  the  effect  throughout  the  country  was  electric. 
It  was  a  signal  for  a  general  burst  of  indignation,  and  a  determination  to  resist. 
The  war  of  the  Revolution  followed,  which  gave  birth  to  a  nation,  and  established

those  principles  of  civil  and  religious  liberty  which  elevate  man  to  the  just  standard 
of  his  natural  rights.  After  a  long  and  arduous  struggle,  in  which  every  privation, 
hardship,  and  sacrifice,  was  endured  by  the  American  armies  and  people,  and  the 
wisdom,  fortitude,  and  perseverance  of  Washington  were  so  signally  exemplified ; — 
the  surrender  of  Cornwallis  at  Yorktown,  Virginia,  in  1781,  put  an  end  to  the  war. 
In  1783,  a  treaty  of  peace  was  signed,  by  which  Great  Britain  acknowledged  the 
Independence  of  the  United  States. 

SURFACE  AND  CLIMATE. 

The  vast  territory  of  the  U.  States  presents  a  great  variety  of  surface,  with  two 
great  ranges  of  mountains  stretching  generally  in  a  northeasterly  and  southwesterly 
direction,  and  dividing  the  country  into  three  unequal  divisions.  The  Rocky  Moun 
tains  are  the  highest,  and  connect  with  the  Cordilleras  Range  of  Mexico ;  commen 
cing  at  the  Isthmus  of  Darien,  and  reaching  to  the  Arctic  Ocean,  a  distance  of  5000 
miles.  The  other  principal  range  is  the  Appalachian,  including  the  Alleghany 
Mountains,  which  reaches  along  the  Atlantic  states  about  1800  miles.  The  lesser 
ranges  are  the  Green,  Ozark,  and  White  Mountains. 

There  is  a  great  diversity  in  the  climate,  from  the  extreme  cold  of  the  northern 
winters  to  the  bland  and  mild  perpetual  summers  of  the  south.  There  are  also  great 
and  sudden  changes  in  the  temperature  of  the  weather.  The  climate  has  much  im- 

r,  and  will  probably  undergo  still  further 
leajthy,  except  in  some  of  the  southern 
states  in  the  summer  months. 


proved  since  the  early  settlement  of  the  country,  and  will  probably  undergo  still  further 
changes  for  the  better.     But  it  is  generally  hei

SOIL  AND  PRODUCTIONS. 

While  the  country  presents  the  greatest  variety  of  soil,  it  abounds  in  vast  tracts 
of  inexhaustible  fertility,  particularly  in  the  south  and  west.  The  Atlantic  border, 
and  the  N.  England  states  generally,  are  in  a  high  state  of  cultivation,  but  are  less 
productive  in  grain  than  the  country  west  of  the  Alleghanies.  More  particular  de 
scriptions  of  the  soil  are  given  under  the  heads  of  the  respective  states. 

The  productions  of  the  country  are  almost  as  various  as  the  soil.  The  great  sta 
ples  are  cotton,  wheat,  rye,  Indian  corn,  sugar,  rice,  tobacco,  and  wool.  All  kinds 
of  vegetables,  and  nearly  every  description  of  fruits,  are  produced  in  the  greatest 
abundance.  There  is  perhaps  no  country  in  the  world  so  bountifully  blessed  by  the 
Creator  with  the  necessaries  of  life,  and  the  means  of  universal  happiness. 

LAKES,  RIVERS,  BAYS,  &c. 

The  principal  lakes  are  Superior,  Huron,  Michigan,  Erie,  Ontario,  St.  Clair,  and 
Champtain. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Mississippi,  Missouri,  Arkansas,  Columbia  or  Ore 

n,  Red,  Kanzas,  Lewis,  Clark,  Yellow  Stone,  Canadian,  Ohio,  Tennessee,  Ala 

ma,  Appalachicola,  Connecticut;  Des  Moines,  Cumberland,  James,  Gt.  Pedee, 
Illinois,  Multomah,  Mobile,  Susquehannah,  Platte,  Wabash,  St.  Peters,  Washita, 
White,  Tombigbee,  Big  Horn,  St.  Johns,  Sabine,  Roanoke,  Potomac,  Penobscot, 
Pearl,  Osage,  Kentucky,  Hudson,  Wisconsin,  Green,  Gt.  Kannawha,  Delaware, 
Coosa,  Chattahooche,  Cape  Fear,  Alleghany,  and  Altamaha. 

The  principal  bays  are  the  Chesapeake,  Delaware,  New  York,  Massachusetts, 
Cape  Cod,  Narragansett,  Penobscot,  Passamaquoddy,  Buzzards,  Mobile,  Pensacola, 
Tampa,  and  Appalachicola. 

The  principal  sounds  are  Long  Island,  Albemarle,  and  Pamlico. 

The  most  prominent  capes  are  Cape  Ann,  Cod.  May,  Henlopen,  Charles,  Henry, 
Hatteras,  Look  Out,  Fear,  Canaveral,  Florida,  Sable,  St.  Bias,  Sandy  Hook,  and 
Montauk  Ft. 

MINERALS. 

Gold  is  found  in  N.  Carolina,  S.  Carolina,  Virginia,  and  Georgia.  Iron  abounds 
in  nearly  every  state  in  the  Union.  Extensive  coal  beds  are  found  abundantly  in 
several  states,  but  are  worked  chiefly  in  Pennsylvania.  Lead  is  found  in  great  abun 
dance;  the  greatest  supply  of  which  is  received  from  the  mines  of  Missouri.  Salt 
springs  and  lakes  abound  in  various  parts  of  the  U.  States.  Those  in  N.  York 
produce  annually  a  large  supply  of  salt.

AGRICULTURE. 


Of  the  great  staples,  already  mentioned,  cotton  holds  a  distinguished  place.     In 
1789,  but  one  million  pounds  of  cotton  were  raised  in  the  U.  States.

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  prices  of  flour  for  a  number  of  years : — 
In  1796,  flour  was  $12  00  per  barrel ;  1803,  $6  50  ;  1808,  (embargo,)  $6  00 ;  1812, 
(war,)  $12  50 ;  1816,  (close  of  the  war,)  $9  00  ;   1817,  $13  50;   1821,  $4  00;  1828, 
$5  00  ;  1832,  $5  50  ;  1835,  $4  87 ;  1836,  $6  50  ;  1837,  $11  00 ;  1838,  $7  75. 

MANUFACTURES. 

The  value  of  manufactures  of  the  U.  States,  in  1810,  was  estimated  at  $172,762, 
876.  In  1836,  the  value  is  estimated  at  $600,000,000.  In  Massachusetts  alone  at 
$100,000,000.  The  great  depression  of  the  times  has  materially  diminished  this 
amount  for  the  year  1837.  Two  thirds  of  the  clothing  worn  by  the  agricultural 
population  in  the  Eastern,  Middle,  and  Western  States,  are  the  products  of  domestic 
manufacture.  The  greatest  amount  of  any  single  manufacture  is  from  cotton,  which 
reached  in  1835  to  near  100  millions  of  pounds ; — valued  at  48  millions  of  dollars. 
85  millions  of  dollars  are  invested  in  cotton  manufactures — and  it  is  estimated  that 
the  capital  vested  in  all  the  manufactories  of  the  U.  States  is  about  1000  millions  of 
dollars. 

COMMERCE. 

The  commerce  of  the  U.  States  is  second  only  to  that  of  Great  Britain.  The  fol 
lowing  table  of  the  value  of  imports  and  exports  for  several  periods,  exhibits  the 
increase  since  1790.

In  1837,  the  imports  amounted  to  $140,852,980,  being  $49,127,055  less  than  the 
preceding  year.  The  exports  for  1837,  amounted  to  $116,906,060,  of  which 
$95,183,199  were  domestic,  and  $21,722,861  foreign  goods.  The  exports  were  less 
than  the  preceding  year,  by  $11,733,481  domestic,' and  $23,499  foreign. 

The  total  amount  of  American  tonnage  in  1836,  was  1,369,580 — of  which  404,8.14 
belonged  to  N.  York  ;  226,779  to  Boston  ;  91,905  to  Philadelphia ;  81,710  to  N.  Or 
leans  ;  81,252  to  N.  Bedford ;  and  62,365  to  Baltimore. 

FISHERIES. 

Nearly  all  the  fisheries  are  carried  on  from  the  N.  England  states.  The  most  im 
portant  are  the  cod  fishery,  whale,  mackeral,  and  herring.  The  value  of  fish, 
oil,  and  sperm  candles,  exported  for  the  year  ending  Sept.  30,  1836,  was  $2,666,058. 


(JENEKAL  VIEW  OF  THE 


PUBLIC  LANDS. 

These  lands  consist  of  territory  that  belonged  to  the  U.  States  at  the  time  of  their 
independence,  of  tracts  ceded  to  the  General  Government  by  the  several  states,  and 
of  lands  acquired  by  treaty  or  purchase.  A  large  quantity  of  this  land  is  occupied 
by  Indians,  who  are  considered  the  proprietors  until  their  title  is  extinguished  by 
purchase.  Much  difficulty  existed  after  the  Revolution  in  adjusting  the  various 
conflicting  claims  of  several  of  the  states  to  the  large  region  of  territory  lying  west 
and  northwest  of  Ohio  river.  They  were  finally  settled,  however,  by  the  states  of 
N.  York,  Virginia,  Massachusetts,  and  Connecticut,  ceding  their  claims  to  the  Gen 
eral  Government.  Connecticut  retained  a  portion  of  the  territory  (called  the  Con 
necticut  Reserve,  now  belonging  to  Ohio)  until  1800,  from  which  was  laid  the 
foundation  of  her  School  Fund. 

Out  of  the  above  territory,  the  states  of  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Michigan,  and 
the  Ter.  of  Wisconsin  were  formed.  S.  Carolina  relinquished  her  claims  in  1787 ; 
N.  Carolina,  in  1789,  to  the  territory  now  forming  the  state  of  Tennessee  ;  and 
finally,  in  1802,  Georgia  ceded  to  the  General  Government  the  region  now  forming 
the  states  of  Alabama  and  Mississppi.  The  vast  tract  west  of  the  Mississippi, 
and  extending  to  the  Pacific  Ocean,  comprehended  under  the  name  of  Louisiana, 
was  purchased  of  France,  in  1803,  for  15.000,000  dollars :  and  Florida,  of  Spain, 
in  1819. 

In  1800,  Congress  passed  an  act  to  provide  for  the  survey  and  sale  of  the  public 
lands,  which  was  the  foundation  of  the  present  system.  In  1812,  the  Land  Office 
was  established.  Surveys  are  made  by  contract,  under  the  direction  of  the  General 
Lanu  Office,  through  the  Surveyor  General. 

The  public  sales  of  land  are  made  by  auction ;  but  large  quantities  are  sold  by 
private  entry.  Settlers  who  have  already  occupied  land  without  a  legal  title,  are 
en:itled  to  a  pre-emption  right  of  purchase. 

The  public  lands  are  divided  into  Districts,  in  each  of  which  is  a  Land  Office, 
under  the  superintendence  of  a  Register  of  the  Land  Office,  and  a  Receiver  of  Pub 
lic  Monies. 

The  surveys  are  based  upon  a  series  of  true  meridians,  and  all  the  surveys  are 
made  to  correspond  with  these  lines.  The  land  is  divided  into  townships,  6  miles 
square,  and  these  into  36  sections,  of  one  square  mile  each,  or  640  acres.  These  sec 
tions  are  subdivided  into  quarter  sections,  of  160  acres  each,  and  half-quarter  sec 
tions,  of  80  acres  each. 

Previous  to  1820,  the  sales  were  on  credit,  and  the  minimum  price  was  $2  00 
per  acre.  But  the  speculations  and  difficulties  arising  from  credit  sales,  induced 
Congress  in  that  year  to  pass  an  act,  establishing  all  sales  to  be  made  for  cash,  and 
reducing  the  minimum  price  of  the  land  to  $1  25  per  acre,  at  which  it  still  remains. 

As  stated  in  the  article  Education,  one  section  of  640  acres  in  each  township  is 
reserved  for  the  support  of  common  schools.  Five  per  cent,  also  of  the  sales  is  re 
served,  three-fifths  of  which  are  to  be  expended  by  Congress  in  making  roads  in 
the  state  where  the  land  is  located,  and  the  other  two-fifths  for  the  encouragement 
of  learning. 

The  total  quantity  of  public  lands  surveyed  up  to  Sept.  1,  1835,  was  166,897,082 
acres ;  the  whole  quantity  sold  was  44,499,620  acres ;  the  nett  payments  into  the 
treasury  (after  deducting  expenses)  $58,619,523. 

The  following  table  exhibits  the  lands  sold  at  certain  periods,  their  annual  aver 
age,  and  the  nett  receipts  into  the  treasury  therefrom.

In  1836,  the  sales  amounted  to  the  extraordinary  sum  of  $24,000.000 ;  and  in  1837 
they  had  fallen  to  $7,004,538. 

The  population  of  the  new  states  and  territories,  formed  out  of  the  public  do 
main,  increased  from  1800  to  1830,  from  less  than  60.000  to  more  than  2,300,000, 
and  since  the  latter  period  to  3,500,000  :  embracing  nine  states — furnishing  one  third 
of  the  U.  S.  Senate,  and  one  sixth  of  the  members  of  the*  House  of  Representatives. 


UNITED  STATES. 


Since  1820,  the  public  lands  have  only  produced  6  cents  an  acre  over  the  minimum 
government  price. 

BANKS. 

The  first  bank  which  was  established  in  this  country  was  the  Bank  of  North 
America.  It  owed  its  origin  to  the  celebrated  Robert  Morris.  It  was  first  charter 
ed  by  Congress  at  Philadelphia,  in  1781. 

In  1792,  there  were  12  banks  ;  in  1811,  89;  in  1815,  208;  in  1816,246. ;  in  1820,  308; 
in  1830,  330;  in  1836,  567;  on  the  1st  Jan..  1837,  633;  1st  July,  1837,  000.

The  amount  of  specie  in  the  U.  States  in  1833,  was  estimated  by  the  Secretary 
of  the  Treasury  at  $29,000,000.  In  1836,  at  $73,000,000. 

The  first  United  States  Bank  was  incorporated  during  Washington's  administra 
tion,  in  Feb.  1791.  The  term  limited  by  the  charter  expired  on  the  4th  of  March,  1811 
—  Congress  refusing  to  renew  the  charter.  Its  capital  was  10,000,000,  divided  into 
25,000  shares  of  $400  each.  Government  held  shares  to  the  amount  of  $2,000,000. 

The  late  Bank  of  the  U.  States  was  chartered  under  Madison's  administration, 
On  the  10th  of  April,  1816,  to  continue  for  20  years.  Its  capital  was  $35,000,000, 
of  which  government  held  $7,000,000.  Its  charter  expired  in  1836.  Congress  pre 
viously  passed  an  act  renewing  the  charter,  which  was  vetoed  by  Gen.  Jackson.  A 
new  charter  was  then  obtained  of  the  state  of  Pennsylvania. 

REVENUE  AND  EXPENDITURES. 

The  revenue  of  the  U.  States  is  chiefly  derived  from  customs  and  public  lands. 
For  the  years  1833,  1834,  1835,  1836,  the  annual  receipts  averaged  $34,713,000. 
The  expenditures  for  the  same  years  averaged,  annually,  $24,467,000,  including  a 
total  of  $7,  740,000  on  account  of  public  debt. 

The  surplus  revenue  remaining  in  the  the  treasury  on  the  1st  January,  1837,  (re 
serving  5,000,000,)  was  $37,468,859.  By  an  act  of  Congress,  passed  June  23,  1836, 
this  surplus  was  directed  to  be  deposited  with  the  several  states  in  quarterly  instal 
ments,  according  to  the  number  of  their  electoral  votes,  to  commence  Jan.  1.  1837. 
The  1st,  2d,  and  3d  deposits  were  made;  but  the  last  instalment  was  postponed,  by 
act  of  Congress,  in  consequence  of  the  deficiency  of  the  revenue,  arising  from  the 
great  commercial  distress  of  1837.  The  amount  actually  distributed  was  $28,101,645. 

The  receipts  for  the  year  1837  (including  the  issue  of  several  millions  in  Treasury 
notes)  amounted  to  $23,499,000.  Expenditures  $35,281,000. 

PUBLIC  DEBT. 

The  last  of  the  public  debt  was  paid  in  1835  ;  when  the  U.  States  presented  the 
only  example  on  earth  of  a  government  entirely  free  from  debt.  The  public  debt 
of  the  U.  States  originated  in  the  struggle  of  the  Revolution,  and  presented  the 
largest  amount  about  the  close  of  the  war  in  1816  —  being  then  $127,334.933.  The 
following  table  exhibits  the  debt  at  different  periods,  from  the  close  of  the  Revolu 
tionary  War  to  its  final  extinction.

10  GENERAL  VIEW  OF  THE 

MINT. 

The  Mint  was  established  in  Philadelphia  in  1792.  Branch  mints  have  recently 
been  established  at  New  Orleans,  Charlotte,  N.  C.,  and  Dahlonega,  Ga.  The  total 
amount  of  coinage  from  1792  to  1836  inclusive,  is,  of  gold  $22  102035;  of  silver 
$46,739,182 ;  of  copper  $740,331 ;— total,  $69,581,548.  For  four  years  the  coinage 
was  as  follows: 

In  1833,  value  $3,765,710  In  1835,  value  $5  668  667 

1834,      "  7,388,423  1836,      «  7,764^900 

In  the  preceding  years,  there  was  deposited  in  gold  for  coinage  from  the  U.  States 
mines,  $2,931,500,  viz.:  In  1833,  $868,000;  in  1834,  $898,000;  in  1835,  $698,500: 
1836,  $467,000. 

ARMY. 

From  the  peculiar  position  of  the  U.  States  in  regard  to  foreign  powers,  and 
the  genius  and  economy  of  her  republican  institutions,  it  has  not  been  thought  ne 
cessary,  nor  politic,  to  sustain  a  large  standing  army.  According  to  official  re 
ports  the  regular  army,  on  the  30th  Nov.,  1836,  amounted  to  7,958,  organized  as 
follows: 


General  Staff  14 

Medical  Department  76 

Pay  department  18 
Purchasing  Department 

Corps  of  Engineers  22 


Topographical  Department  10 

Ordnance  Department  308 

Two  Regiments  of  Dragoons  1,498 

Four  Regiments  of  Artillery  2,180 

Seven  Regiments  of  Infantry  3,829 


Total 7,958 

There  are  two  great  Military  Divisions,  divided  by  a  line  commencing  at  the 
mouth  of  the  Mississippi,  following  up  that  river  to  CassviHe,  in  Wisconsin  Ter 
ritory,  thence  north  to  the  boundary  line  between  the  U.  States  and  Canada.  All 
west  of  that  line  is  called  the  Western  Division ;  and  all  east  of  it,  the  Eastern  Di 
vision. 

The  total  number  of  militia  in  the  U.  States,  as  given  in  an  official  report,  dated 
Nov.,  1836,  is  1,326,  821.  The  militia  comprises  all  able  bodied  white  males  be 
tween  the  ages  of  18  and  45 ;  and  when  called  into  actual  service,  they  receive  the 
same  pay  as  the  army. 

NAVY. 

The  American  navy,  though  small  in  point  of  numbers,  is  formidable  in  its 
power,  and  very  efficient  in  its  organization  and  discipline.  It  consisted  in  1837, 
finished  aud  on  the  stocks,  of 


11  ships  of  74*  guns.

Total 49 

And  several  smaller  vessels. 

The  navy  contains  50  Captains;  48  Masters  Commandant ;  296  Lieutenants; 
50  Surgeons;  14  Passed  Assistant  Surgeons  ;  43  Assistant  Surgeons  ;  41  Pursers  ; 
9  Chaplains;  198  Passed  Midshipmen;  256  Midshipmen;  27  Sailing  Masters; 
19  Boatswains;  20  Gunners;  19  Carpenters  ;  19  Sail  Makers. 

POST  OFFICE. 

The  first  Post  in  the  U.  States  was  established  in  New  York  in  1710.  In  1789, 
at  the  adoption  of  the  Federal  Constitution,  the  whole  management  of  the  Posts 
was  conferred  on  Congress;  There  were  then  only  75  post  offices  in  the  U.  States 
—there  are  now  (1838)  about  12,300. 

The  following  table  will  exhibit  the  extraordinary  increase  of  this  department 
and  also  the  rapid  growth  of  the  country.

Privilege  of  Franking. 

The  officers  of  the  General  Government  at  Washington,  and  members  of  Con 
gress,  from  the  period  of  60  days  before  they  take  their  seats  until  the  next  meeting 
of  the  next  Congress,  may  send  and  receive  letters  and  newspapers  free  of  postage ;

Postmaster  General  may  provide. 

Any  person  who  shall  counterfeit  the  handwriting  or  frank  of  any  person,  or 
cause  the  same  to  be  done,  in  order  to  avoid  the  payment  of  postage,  shall  for  each 
offence  pay  five  hundred  dollars. 

RELIGION. 

The  Constitution  of  the  U.  States  declares  that  Congress  shall  make  no  law  re 
specting  an  establishment  of  religion,  or  prohibiting  the  free  exercise  thereof.  The 


12  GENERAL  VIEW  OF  THE 

same  principle  prevails  in  the  several  states.  The  support  of  religion  is  entirely 
voluntary  throughout  the  U.  States.  And  its  happy  tendency,  so  consistent  with 
the  mild  spirit  of  the  gospel,  is  everywhere  manifest.  A  provision  existed  in  Mas 
sachusetts,  by  which  the  Legislature  might  require  the  towns  to  support  the  Protest 
ant  religion.  But  this  was  done  away  in  1833.  Nor  is  it  possible  that  any  church 
and  state  establishment  can  ever  be  formed  in  the  U.  States:  for  if  the  improbable  desire 
for  such  a  union  should  ever  arise  in  any  one  denomination,  there  would  be  at  least 
two  thirds,  comprehending  all  other  denominations,  united  to  oppose  it ; — without 
including  a  large  portion  of  the  community  not  connected  with  any  sect. 

But  while  every  individual  is  left  entirely  free  in  the  choice  of  his  religion,  or  in 
its  support,  and  the  law  no  where  enjoins  it  as  an  obligation,  it  is  a  happy  evi 
dence  of  the  prevailing  public  sentiment,  that  the  Constitutions  of  the  several  states 
recognize  the  moral  obligations  and  duties  of  the  Christian  religion,  and  extend 
their  protection  over  its  full  enjoyment  and  exercise. 

The  following  summary  exhibits  in  round  numbers,  dropping  fractions,  the  num 
ber  of  churches,  ministers,  and  communicants,  in  the  U.  States  "in  1836. 

Churches  or  Societies,  21,670;  ministers,  16,000;  communicants,  2,200,000.  Of

emigration  from  foreign  countries.  The  proportion  of  the  Catholic  to  the  Protestant 
population  is  as  one  to  eighteen. 

EDUCATION. 

The  general  diffusion  of  knowledge  has  always  been  considered  of  great  import 
ance  in  a  popular  government.  The  U.  States  present  an  example  of  a  free  people 
acting  upon  the  principle,  with  slight  exceptions,  of  universal  suffrage.  Every 
white  male  citizen  above  21  years  of  age,  in  most  of  the  states,  has  a  voice  in  the 
choice  of  his  rulers;  which  implies  that  every  such  citizen  should  be  capable,  to  a 
reasonable  extent,  of  exercising  that  right  with  judgment  and  discretion.  This 
cannot  be  expected  without  a  proper  attention  to  the  education  of  the  whole  mass  of 
the  people.  Nor  can  any  republican  institutions  be  safe  without  it. 

The  subject  of  popular  education,  therefore,  has  early  received  the  favorable  at 
tention  of  several  of  the  states,  particularly  the  N.  England  states  and  N.  York; 
and  now  this  attention  is  becoming  more  general  and  decided.  Other  states  are 
awakening  up  to  its  importance.  Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  and  Michigan,  have  estab 
lished  excellent  systems;  and  the  gratifying  prospect  is  presented,  that  in  a  short 
time  every  state  in  the  Union  will  have  an  efficient  common  school  system,  which 
will  embrace  all  the  children  of  the  land,  under  a  course  of  good  sound  education. 

The  General  Government  of  the  U.  States  does  nothing  in  aid  of  public  instruc 
tion,  except  to  reserve  for  that  purpose  one  section  of  the  public  land  in  every  town 
ship,  being  ,*,  part,  or  one  mile  square, — and  also  certain  reservations  for  colleges. 
These  appropriations  for  common  schools  have  already  amounted  to  near  nine  mil 
lions  of  acres  ;  and  for  colleges  and  academies  to  near  Jive  hundred  thousand  acres. 
To  the  states,  respectively,  belong  the  duty  of  providing  in  a  special  manner  for  the 
education  of  the  young ;  and  these  particular  efforts  will  be  noticed  under  the  heads 
of  the  individual  states. 


UNITED  STATES.  13 

The  number  of  colleges  founded  in  the  U.  States,  up  to  1838,  is  98,  but  several  of 
them  have  not  yet  gone  into  operation.  The  number  of  volumes  in  the  college  li 
braries,  280,000  ;  the  number  in  the  students  libraries,  130,000 ;  total,  400,000. 

The  whole  number  of  Instructors  is  750 

The  whole  number  of  Alumni  26,470 

The  whole  number  of  Students,  in  1837,  9,250 

Of  the  above  Alumni,  5,321  were  graduates  of  Harvard  University,  Mas.;  4,485 
of  Yale  Colle^,  Ct. ;  2,183  of  Princeton  College,  N.  J.;  1,858  of  Dartmouth  Col 
lege,  N.  H. ;  1,700  of  Columbia  College,  N.  Y. ;  1,600  of  Union  College,  Schenec- 
tady ;  and  1,253  of  Brown  University,  R.  I. 

There  are  thirty  theological  seminaries  in  the  U.  States  and  five  theological  de 
partments  connected  with  other  colleges. 

The  number  of  Professors  in  1837  was  84 

The  number  of  Theological  Students  1,057 

The  number  of  volumes  in  library  72,500 

According  to  the  "  Catholic  Almanac"  for  1837,  the  Catholics  have  13  colleges; 
12  ecclesiastical  seminaries  ;  23  female  religious  institutions;  37  female  academies; 
and  37  charitable  institutions. 

The  Catholic  ecclesiastical  seminaries  contain  84  students.  The  whole  number 
of  Catholic  colleges  is  thirteen.  In  eight  of  these  (the  number  organized  in  1837) 
there  were,  instructors  130;  students  995;  volumes  in  libraries  50,000;  whole  num 
ber  of  Alumni,  394. 

There  are  26  medical  schools  in  the  U.  States,  numbering  141  professors  and 
2,460  students. 

PUBLIC  LIBRARIES. 

In  a  report  to  the  Senate  of  the  U.  States,  in  1836,  by  Mr.  Preston  of  S.  C.,  on 
the  expediency  of  purchasing  the  library  of  the  late  Count  Boutourlin  at  Florence, 
for  the  library  of  Congress,— it  is  stated  that  all  the  libraries  in  the  U.  States 
amount  to  about  400,000  volumes:  of  these  there  are  50,000  distinct  works.  Other, 
and  more  recent  authorities,  founded  upon  particular  examinations,  give  the  num 
ber  as  between  700,000  and  800,000  volumes,  which  is  probably  correct. 

After  the  destruction  of  the  library  of  Congress  by  the  British  in  August,  1814, 
:Government  purchased  Mr.  Jefferson's  library,  consisting  of  6,484  volumes  for 
$23,950.  Since  which,  additional  sums  have  been  appropriated,  making  a  total, 
since  1814,  of  $99.950.  The  whole  number  of  volumes  in  the  library  is  24,600. 

Of  the  other  public  libraries  in  the  U.  States,  the  following  are  the  largest: 

Philadelphia,  44,000  vols.    I      Boston  Atheneum,  29,000  vols. 

Cambridge  University,     42,000  |      New  York  City,  25,000 

Among  other  respectable  libraries,  the  following  deserve  particular  notice: 
Charleston,  S.  C.;  Andover  Theol.  Sem. ;  Antiquarian  Society,  Worcester;  N. 
York  Mercantile;  N.  York  Apprentices;  Baltimore  and  Georgetown  College;  aver 
aging  about  12,00(3  volumes  each. 

Although  the  libraries  of  the  U.  States  are  small  compared  with  the  magnificent 
collections  in  Europe,  which  amount  to  an  aggregate  of  19,850.000  volumes — (the 
Paris  Royal  containing  700,000  ;  Munich,  556,000;  London,  244,000  volumes,)— yet 
when  the  age  of  the  country  is  considered,  and  that  libraries  are  always  of  slow 
growth,  their  number  and  extent  are  certainly  respectable. 

GOVERNMENT. 

The  Government  of  the  U.  States  is  that  of  a  confederated  republic,  in  which  all 
power  belongs  to  the  people.  The  legislative  power  is  vested  in  a  Congress,  com 
posed  of  a  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives.  The  Senate  consists  of  two  mem 
bers  from  each  state,  chosen  by  the  legislatures,  respectively,  for  a  period  of  six 
years.  The  terms  of  service  are  so  arranged,  that  one  third  of  the  whole  Senate 
is  renewed  every  two  years. 

Every  Senator  must  be  at  least  30  years  of  age,  and  have  been  9  years  a  citizen. 
The  present  number  of  Senators  is  52. 


14  GENERAL  VIEW  OF  THE 

The  Senate  has  the  sole  power  to  try  impeachments.  The  Vice  President  i» 
President  of  the  Senate,  and  nas  a  casting  vote  only. 

The  House  of  Representatives  is  composed  of  members  elected  in  the  several 
states  by  the  peopb,  for  a  term  of  two  years.  Each  state  is  entitled,  under  a  law 
passed  in  1832,  to  send  one  Representative  for  every  47,700  inhabitants.  The 
present  number  of  members  is  242,  and  two  Delegates — one  from  Wisconsin,  and 
one  from  Florida  territory. 

Every  Representative  must  be  at  least  25  years  of  age,  and  have  been  7  years  a 
citizen. 

The  pay  of  each  member  of  Congress,  during  the  session,  is  $8  per  day,  and  $8 
for  every  20  miles'  travel,  to  and  from  the  seat  of  government.  The  compensation 
of  the  President  of  the  Senate,  pro  lem.,  who  is  chosen  in  the  absence  of  the  Vice 
President,  and  of  the  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  is  $16  a  day. 

All  bills  for  raising  revenue  must  originate  in  the  House  of  Representatives. 

No  member  of  Congress  can  hold  any  office  under  the  U.  States  at  the  same  time. 

Congress  have  power  to  lay  and  collect  taxes — provide  for  the  common  defence 
and  general  welfare — borrow  money — regulate  commerce  with  foreign  nations, 
Among  the  states,  and  with  the  Indian  tribes — to  establish  uniform  laws  on  natu 
ralization  and  bankruptcies — to  coin  money,  regulate  its  value,  and  fix  the  standard 
of  weights  and  measures — to  establish  post  offices  and  post  roads — to  grant  patent 
and  copy-rights — to  constitute  tribunals  inferior  to  the  Supreme  Court — to  define 
and  punish  piracies  and  offences  on  the  high  seas,  and  against  the  law  of  nations — 
to  declare  war— grant  letters  of  marque  and  reprisal — to  raise  and  support  armies 
— provide  and  maintain  a  navy — to  provide  for  calling  forth  the  militia  to  execute 
the  laws  of  the  Union,  suppress  insurrections,  and  repel  invasions — to  provide  for 
organizing,  arming,  and  disciplining  the  militia  (the  states  appointing  the  officers 
thereof) — to  exercise  exclusive  legislation  over  the  District  of  Columbia,  forts,  mag 
azines,  dock  yards,  &c.,  and  to  make  all  laws  necessary  and  proper  for  carrying  into 
execution  the  powers  vested  by  the  constitution  in  the  Government  of  the  U.  States, 
or  in  any  department  thereof. 

The  Executive  power  is  vested  in  a  President,  who  is  chosen  for  four  years,  by 
electors  from  from  the  different  states,  equal  in  number  to  the  Senators  and  Repre 
sentatives  from  each  state.  He  must  be  a  native  citizen  of  the  U.  states,  and  not 
under  35  years  of  age.  He  is  a  commander  and  chief  of  the  army  and  navy,  and 
of  the  mihtia,  when  in  actual  service.  His  compensation  is  $25,000  a  year.  In  case 
of  his  death,  resignation,  or  inability  to  act,  the  Vice  President  acts  as  President. 

The  President  makes  all  treaties,  with  the  concurrence  of  two  thirds  of  the  Sen 
ate  ;  and  appoints,  with  the  consent  of  the  Senate,  ambassadors,  judges  of  the  Su 
preme  Court,  and  other  officers,  not  otherwise  appointed  by  law.  He  is  eligible  for 
re-election,  but  the  example  of  Washington  in  retiring  to  private  life  after  a  second 
term,  has  established  a  precedent  which  has  not  since  been  departed  from.  The  Presi 
dent  has  a  Cabinet,  consisting  of  the  heads  of  the  different  departments,  viz.,  the  Sec 
retary  of  State,  Treasury,  War,  Navy,  Poatmaster  General,  and  Attorney  General. 

The  judicial  power  of  the  U.  States  is  vested  in  a  Supreme  Court,  composed  of  a 
Chief  Justice  and  six  associates,  which  holds  its  session  annnally  at  Washington 
city,  and  a  District  Court  in  each  state.  There  are  also  seven  judicial  Circuits,  in 
each  of  which  a  Circuit  Court  is  held  twice  a  year  for  each  state  in  the  Circuit,  by 
a  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and  by  a  District  Judge. 

The  judges  hold  their  offices  during  good  behaviour.  The  Supreme  Court  has 
original  jurisdiction  in  all  cases  relating  to  ambassadors  and  consuls — and  appellate 
jurisdiction  in  all  cases  arising  under  the  Constitution  of  the  U.  States — in  all  ad 
miralty  cases — in  controversies  between  two  states — two  citizens  of  different  states 
— and  between  a  state,  or  its  citizens,  and  a  foreign  state  or  its  subjects. 

The  state  governments  (26  in  number)  are  founded  upon  the  same  general  prin 
ciples  of  popular  rights  that  are  adopted  in  the  Constitution  of  the  U.  States.  Each 
state  has  guaranteed  to  it  a  republican  form  of  government,  and  the  state  constitu 
tions  do  not  essentially  differ  in  their  forms  from  that  of  the  Federal  Government. 

Each  state  is  independent,  and  has  exclusive  legislation  on  all  subjects  not  dele 
gated  to  the  General  Government.  Its  whole  domestic  and  local  policy  is,  there 
fore,  by  this  admirable  system,  brought  immediately  under  the  control  of  its  own 
citizens,  through  their  representatives. 

The  legislature  of  every  state  is  now  composed  of  two  branches,  Vermont  hav 
ing  in  18o6  established  a  Senate. 


UNITED  STATES.  J5 

In  8  states,  Senators  are  elected  for  1  year ;  in  4  states,  for  2  years  ;  in  3  states, 
for  3  years ;  in  10  states,  for  four  years  ;  and  1  state,  (Maryland,)  for  5  years.  Irr 
9  states,  Representatives  are  elected  for  2  years  ;  in  all  others,  except  Rhode  Island, 
which  elects  semi-annually,  they  are  elected  annnally. 

Eight  states  elect  their  Governors  for  1  year  ;  nine  states,  for  2  years  ;  four  states, 
for  3  years  ;  and  five,  for  4  years.  The  Governors  of  the  territories  of  Florida  and 
Wisconsin  are  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  U.  States  and  Senate. 

In  all  states,  except  N.  Jersey,  Maryland,  Virginia,  and  S.  Carolina,  the  Gov 
ernor  is  elected  by  the  people.  In  Louisiana,  the  legislature  chooses  one  from  the 
two  highest  candidates  voted  for  by  the  people. 

Further  details  of  the  state  governments  are  given  in  the  description  of  the  par 
ticular  states,  in  their  proper  places. 

POPULATION. 

The  unexampled  increase  of  population  in  the  U.  States,  since  the  period  of  its 
independence,  is  a  decisive  evidence  of  its  growing  and  substantial  prosperity.  The 
first  actual  enumeration  of  the  inhabitants  was  made  in  1790.

INDIANS. 

Some  notices  of  the  different  tribes  of  Indians  residing  in  several  of  the  states  ar& 
given  under  the  appropriate  heads,  in  their  alphabetical  arrangement.  According 
to  a  Report  of  the  Commissioner  of  Indian  Affairs,  made  Dec.  1,  1836,  the  number 
of  Indians  then  residing  east  of  the  Mississippi,  and  under  treaty  to  remove,  was 
48,918,  of  which  16,000  are  Cherokees,  and  2,600  Seminoles.  Not  under  stipula 
tions  to  remove,  8,415 — total,  57,433. 

Within  eight  or  ten  years  past,  93.401,637  acres  of  land  have  been  ceded  by  the 
Indians,  for  which  the  U.  States  have  stipulated  to  pay  them  $26,982,068,  and 
32,381  000  acres  of  land,  valued  at  $40,476,250,  making  the  whole  consideration 
$67,451,318.

ARKANSAS,  one  of  the  Uni 
ted  States,  bounded  N.  by  Missouri,  E. 
by  the  Mississippi  r.  S.  by  Louisiana, 
and  W.  by  Mis'souri  Ter.  Length  from 
N.  to  S.  245  m.  mean  breadth  213  ;  area 
about  52,185  m.  Pop.  1833,  40,370 ;  1835, 
58,134,  of  which  about  6,000  are  slaves. 

Arkansas  was  settled  in  1685  ;  orga 
nized  into  a  Territorial  government  in 
1819 ;  and  admitted  as  a  state  into  the 
Union  in  1836.  Arkansas  is  the  principal 
river,  the  other  important  rivers  are  the 
White,  Red,  Washtta,  Cache,  and  St. 
Francis.  The  eastern  part  of  the  state  is 
level  which  gradually  varies  to  the  west 
ward,  where  the  Black  or  Ozark  Moun 
tains  pass  through  the  state.  The  soil  is 
fertile,  and  produces  cotton,  wheat,  tobac 
co,  &c.,  with  rich  and  extensive  prairies. 
Iron,  lead  and  coal  are  found,  and  abun 
dance  of  salt. 

The  shores  of  the  Arkansas  r.  to  Little 
Rock,  are  considered  unhealthy.  The 
level  sections  of  the  country  are  wet  and 
not  easily  drained.  But  the  great  prairie 
and  the  smaller  prairies  in  the  upper  parts 
of  the  country  are  more  healthy. 

The  Legislature  meets  every  two  years, 
and  is  composed  of  a  Senate  of  17  mem 
bers,  and  a  H.  of  Representatives  of  54 
members.

ARKANSAS  R.  rises  in  the  Rocky

kansas  state  until  it  falls  into  the  Missis 
sippi  r.  in  lat.  33°  50',  400  m.  above  the 
mouth  of  Red  r.  Its  great  confluent  is 
the  Canadian  r.  which  joins  it  west  of 
the  state,  in  lat.  35°  long.  18°  W.  Steam

West."  It  is  not  more  distinguished  for 
the  enterprise  and  munificence  of  its  inha 
bitants,  than  for  their  noble  spirit  in  pro 
moting  the  cause  of  learning  and  primary 
education.  Besides  several  respectable 
colleges,  institutes,  lyceums,  &c.  the  large 
and  commodious  buildings  erected  for 
common  school  instruction  reflect  the  high 
est  credit  upon  the  public  spirit  and  bene 
ficence  of  the  inhabitants. 

Many  of  the  public  buildings  are  very 
beautiful ;  among  which  the  new  edifice 
for  the  Franklin  and  Lafayette  Banks, 
of  the  Grecian  Doric  order,  resembling  the 
United  States  Bank  at  Philadelphia, stands 
conspicuous.  The  spacious  Court  House 
and  United  States  Branch  Bank  building 
deserve  also  to  be  noticed.  There  are  also 
many  fine  churches,  4  market  houses,  col 
lege  and  literary  buildings,  and  several 
elegant  hotels. 

The  commercial  and  manufacturing  im 
portance  of  this  place  is  very  great.  The 
exports  for  1832  were  estimated  at  $4,000,- 
000,  and  for  1836  at  $5,000,000.  A  large 
number  of  steam  engines  are  in  operation,

CONNECTICUT,  one  of  the 
United  States,  is  bounded  N.  by  Massa 
chusetts  ;  E.  by  Rhode  Island ;  S.  by 
Long  Island  Sound  ;  and  W.  by  New 
York.  Its  mean  length  from  E.  to  W.  is 
about  88  m.  Its  mean  breadth  from  N.  to 
S.  58  m.  contain  ing  about  5,100  square  m. 

It  has  several  ranges  of  mountains, 
which,  however,  are  not  of  much  eleva 
tion.  The  general  face  of  the  country  is 
varied  by  moderate  undulations  of  hill 
and  valley.  The  valleys  generally  are 
very  rich.  The  E.  part  of  the  state  par 
ticularly,  contains  strong  and  rich  soil — 
the  NW.  portion  is  indifferent.  The  cli 
mate  is  remarkably  healthy. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Connecti 
cut,  the  HousJtonic,  and  the  Thames. 

The  principal  cities  and  villages  are 
Hartford,  find  New  Haven,  the  two  state 
capitals,— New  London,  Middletown, 
Norwich,  Wethersfield,  and  Windsor. 

The  chief  agricultural  productions  are 
corn,  wheat,  rye.  oats,  barley,  buckwheat, 
&c.  There  are  fine  meadows  and  pasture 
land,  on  which  many  sheep  ana  other 
stock  are  raised.  Silk  is  also  raised  in 
considerable  quantities. 

There  are  many  manufactories  of  cot 
ton,  paper,  leather,  iron,  &c.  in  a  flourish 
ing  condition,  and  there  is  a  considerable 
coasting  trade  with  New  York,  Boston, 
and  rise  where. 

There  are  two  colleges  in  the  state—

N.  Y.  Watered  by  Delaware  r.— hilly. 
Pop.  1830,  33,024.  Delhi,  c.  t. 

DELAWARE  R.  a  large  and  impor 
tant  r.  rises  in  the  state  of  New  York, 
Schoharie  co.  in  the  Cattskill  Mountains, 
forms  part  of  the  boundary  between  N. 


Y.  and  Pa.  and  between  Pa.  and  N.  J. 
and  flows  into  Delaware  Bay.  It  is  about 
300  m.  long,  and  navigable  for  the  largest 
vessels  to  Philadelphia,  and  for  steam 
boats  to  Trenton  Falls,  35  m.  further. 

DELAWARE  Bay,  between  the  states 
of  Delaware  and  New  Jersey,  near  20  m. 
wide  at  its  mouth,  from  Cape  May  to 
Cape  Henlopen.  Within  the  latter  cape, 
a  breakwater  is  constructed,  forming  a 
safe  artificial  harbor  for  vessels  in  stormy 
weather. 

DELAWARE,  one  of  the 
United  States,  bounded  N.  by  Pennsyl 
vania  ;  E.  by  Delaware  r.  and  Bay,  and 
the  Atlantic ;  and  S.  and  W.  by  Mary 
land.  It  is  93  m.  long — mean  breadth  22 
m.  Area,  2,110  square  m.  or  about  1,350,- 
000  acres. 

The  general  surface  of  the  country  is 
level.  The  soil  is  a  rich  clay  in  the  nor 
thern  parts  of  the  state,  and  along  the  Dela 
ware  r.  but  in  the  extreme  N.  it  is  stony, 
and  becomes  sandy  on  the  sea  coast.  The 
climate  is  mild  and  healthy. 

Wheat  is  the  principal  production,  from 
which  very  beautiful  white  flour  is  pro 
duced.  Corn,  rye,  barley,  and  flax  are 
also  raised  in  considerable  quantities. 

There  are  several  important  manufac 
tories  of  cotton,  wool,  paper,  and  gun 
powder  in  the  neighborhood  of  Wilming 
ton,  and  some  of  the  largest  grist  mills  m 
the  country. 

The  principal  towns  are  Wilmington, 
Dover,  the  state  capital,  and  Newcastle. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Brandy- 
wine  and  Christiana  crs.  which  unite  and 
fall  into  the  Delaware  below  Wilming 
ton. 

The  state  is  divided  into  three  counties, 
which  are  subdivided  into  24  hundreds. 

Delaware  has  no  college,  but  some  very 
respectable  private  academies,  and  a  sys 
tem  of  common  schools,  supported  by  the 
interest  of  a  fund,  and  a  tax  of  equal 
amount  raised  in  the  school  districts. 

The  state  was  first  settled  at  Fort  Chris 
tiana,  on  the  creek  of  that  name,  by  the 
Swedes  and  Finns  in  1G27.  In  1655  the 
colony  was  taken  by  the  Dutch  of  New 
York ;  and  after  the  conquest  of  New 
York  by  the  English,  in  1664,  it  was  an 
nexed  to  that  colony.  In  1682,  it  was 
granted,  with  Pennsylvania,  to  William 
Penn.  The  colonies  were  separated  in 
1701,  but  remained  under  one  governor 
until  1776,  when  Delaware  adopted  a  new 
constitution. 

Internal  Improvements. — The  Chesa 
peake  <f-  Delaware  Canal  connects  Dela 
ware  r.  with  the  head  of  Chesapeake  Bay, 
and  lies  principally  in  this  state.  It  is  13f

feet  deep.  It  was  commenced  in  1824, 
and  finished  in  1829,  at  a  cost  of  $2,200,- 
000. 

The  Newcastle  tf*  Frenchtown  Rail 
Road,  extends  from  Newcastle,  on  the 
Delaware  r.  to  Frenchtown,  on  Elk  r.  It 
is  16  1-5  m.  long — Was  finished  in  1832, 
and  cost  $400,000. 

The  Wilmington  <$-  Susqn-e/iannah  Rail 
Road,  extends  from  Wilmington  to  the 
Susquehannah,  opposite  Havre  de  Grace, 
and  forms  part  of  the  line  of  rail  road 
communication  between  Philadelphia  and 
Baltimore.  (See  Maryland.)

of  the  everglades  is  like  that  of  a  bound 
less  field  of  wheat  in  the  harvest  season. 
A  species  of  grass,  about  five  feet  in 
height,  covers  the  earth,  and  extends  be 
low  the  horizon.  The  country  is  perfect 
ly  level ;  and  the  winds,  which  are  al 
ways  blowing,  wave  the  grass  like  a 
troubled  sea.  Near  Fort  Gardiner,  which 
is  seventy  miles  due  east  from  here,  there 
are  strips  of  hammock  land,  and  when 
the  surface  rises  a  little,  of  pine  barren ; 
but  the  Indians  state,  that  in  the  lower 
part  of  the  country  the  prairie  land 
stretches  to  the  horizon  all  around  you, 
except  here  and  there  a  few  spots  of  wood 
called  Islands.  It  is  the  general  impres 
sion  that  these  everglades  are  uninhabit 
able  during  the  summer  months,  by  rea 
son  of  their  being  overflowed  by  the  abun 
dant  rains  of  that  season  ;  but  if  it  should 
prove  that  these  inundations  are  caused 
or  increased  by  obstructions  to  the  natural 
courses  of  the  rivers,  as  outlets  to  the  nu 
merous  lakes,  American  industry  will  re 
move  these  obstructions."

FLO  RIB  A,  the  SE.  Territory 
of  the  United  States,  bounded  N.  by 
Georgia  and  Alabama,  E.  by  the  Atlan 
tic,  W.  and  S.  by  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  and 


|  part  of  Alabama.  It  is  usually  divided, 
in  describing  it,  into  East  and  West  Flori 
da.  Lengtn,  360  m. — breadth,  150  m. 

The  surface  of  the  country  generally  is 
flat,  and  a  great  portion  of  the  soil  in  the 
peninsula  is  wet,  swampy  and  unfit  for 
cultivation. 

In  other  parts  there  is  a  rich,  produc 
tive  soil,  and  many  excellent  forests  of 
live  oak  and  other  timber. 

The  climate  is  hot  and  unhealthy,  ex 
cept  between  the  months  of  October  and 
June,  when  it  is  very  pleasant  and  healthy. 

Florida  was  discovered  by  Ponce  de 
Leon,  a  Spaniard,  in  1512,  and  settled  by 
the  Spaniards  in  1524,  who  were  long  and 
obstinately  opposed  by  the  native  Indians. 
The  country  was  subdued  by  De  Soto,  in 
1539.  In  1763,  it  was  ceded  by  Spain  to 
Great  Britain,  in  exchange  for  Havanna. 
The  Spaniards  re-conquered  it  in  1781, 
since  which  they  held  it  until  it  was  ceded 
by  Spain  to  the  United  States,  in  1821. 

Florida  has  been  remarkable  since  that 
period  for  two  wars  with  the  Seminoles. 
The  first  broke  out  in  1818,  and  was  soon 
brought  to  a  close  by  Gen.  Jackson.  The 
second  war  has  been  more  obstinate  and 
bloody, 

Tallahassee,  in  W.  Florida,  is  the  seat 
of  government.  The  other  principal  towns 
are  St.  Augustine  and  Pensacola. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  St.  Mary's, 
St.  John's,  the  Suwanee,  the  Apalachi- 
cola  and  the  Withlacouchee.

GEORGIA,  one  of  the  United 
States,  bounded  N.  by  Tennessee  and  N. 
Carolina,  E.  by  South  Carolina  and  the 
Atlantic  Ocean,  S.  by  Florida,  and  W. 
by  Alabama.  Its  length  N.  toS.  is  about 
280  m.— breadth  250— square  m.  58,500. 

On  the  margin  of  the  rivers  and  on  the 
sea  coast,  the  country  is  generally  low 
and  mirshy.  The  pine  barrens  extend 
60  or  80  m.  from  the  sea,  beyond  which 
the  country  rises  and  undulates,  with  con 
siderable  elevations.  In  the  interior  the 
land  is  strong  and  productive,  and  well 
adapted  to  the  cultivation  of  cotton,  rice 


and  tobacco.  Oranges,  limes  and  figs  are 
also  raised  abundantly. 

Considerable  gold  has  been  found  in 
the  neighborhood  of  the  Blue  Ridge. 

The  climate  is  very  healthy  in  winter, 
but  hot  and  subject  to  fevers  in  the  sum 
mer  season. 

The  chief  cities  and  towns  are  Savan 
nah,  Augusta,  and  Milledgeville,  the  cap 
ital. 

The  university  is  situated  at  Athens, 
and  has  a  library  of  about  5,000  volumes. 
There  are  over  100  schools  in  the  state, 
with  a  fund  of  $500,000  for  their  support. 

Until  recently,  a  large  portion  of  the 
NW.  section  of  the  state  was  occupied  by 
the  Cherokee  Indians,  and  of  the  W.  part 
by  the  Creeks,  who  have  recently  been 
removed  to  the  lands  assigned  them  by 
the  United  States  W.  of  Arkansas. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Savannah, 
the  Altamaha,  the  Great  Ogeechee,  the 
Chatahoochee,  the  Ockmulgee,  the  Oconee, 
St.  Mary's  and  Flint. 

Georgia  was  the  last  settled  of  the  At 
lantic  states.  In  173-2,  James  Oglethorpe 
and  a  body  of  emigrants  founded  Savan 
nah.  A  representative  assembly  was  first 
established  in  1 755.  Previous  to  the  revo 
lution,  the  colonists  were  frequently  har- 
rassed  by  the  Indians,  and  during  the 
revolution  the  country  was  often  overrun 
by  the  British.

Iroquois,  (or  Manitouline.)  Its  depth  in 
some  places  is  said  to  be  unfathomable. 
It  contains  a  chain  of  islands,  stretching 
along  the  N.  part,  the  principal  of  which 
is  the  Great  Manitou.  That  portion  of 
the  lake  on  the  NE.  is  variously  named 
Lake  Iroquois,  Lake  Manitouline,  and 
Georgian  Bay.  It  is  about  130  m.  long

ILL

IML 


After  the  revolution,  the  country  was  held 
by  the  state  of  Virginia,  and  ceded  by 
that  state  to  the  United  Slates  in  1787. 
When  the  territory  now  forming  the  state 
of  Ohio  was  set  apart,  Indiana  and  Illi 
nois  were  united.  In  1809,  they  were  or 
ganized  into  two  distinct  territories  ;  and 
in  1818,  Illinois  was  admitted  as  a  state 
into  the  Union. 

The  surface  of  the  state  is  generally 
level,  with  a  little  inclination,  and  gently 
undulating.  In  the  southern  part  it  is 
more  hilly,  but  without  any  consider 
able  elevations.  The  soil  of  a  great  por 
tion  of  the  state  is  extremely  rich,  and 
has  gained  for  it  from  some  travellers  the 
appellation  of  the  garden  of  America. 
There  are,  however,  some  extensive  plains 
and  prairies,  whicn  are  scarce  of  timber 
and  pure  water.  Some  of  them  are  for  a 
portion  of  the  year  inundated  with  water. 
But  in  general,  these  rich  prairies  are  sus 
ceptible  of  being  drained  at  small  expense, 
which  will  undoubtedly  take  place  as  the 
population  becomes  more  dense,  and 
which  will  remove  the  danger  of  sickness 
produced  in  such  neighborhood  by  the 
miasmi  arising  from  the  ponds  and 
swamps.  Much  of  the  prairie  land  is 
quite  dry.  The  "bottom"  lands,  which 
are  flooded  at  times,  but  on  which  the  wa 
ters  do  not  stand,  are  inexhaustible  in 
fertility — the  soil  reaching  to  a  depth  of 
20  or  30  feet. 

The  principal  productions  are  wheat 
and  maize,  or  Indian  corn  ;  but  other 
grains,  and  also  cotton,  hemp  and  tobacco, 
can  be  raised.  Vegetables  can  be  produ 
ced  abundantly.  Over  seventy  millions 
of  pounds  of  lead  have  been  produced 
from  1821  to  1835,  yielding  to  the  U.  S. 
government  six  million  pounds. 

The  population  of  the  state  has  increas 
ed  very  rapidly.  In  1810,  it  was  12,282 ; 
1820,  55,211 ;  1830, 157,575;  and  in  1835, 
according  to  the  state  census,  it  was 
285,799. 

Principal  rivers — Illinois,  Rock,  Kas- 
kaskia,  Sangamon,  Little  Wabash,  Fox 
and  Kankakee. 

Vandalia  is  the  capital  of  the  state. 

Internal  Improvements. — The  state  has 
commenced  an  extensive  system  of  inter 
nal  improvements.  At  the  session  of  the 
Legislature  in  1837,  an  act  was  passed 
appointing  a  Board  of  Commissioners  of 
Public  Works,  and  appropriations  to  the 
amount  of  $9,600,000  were  authorized  for 
Various  improvements,  some  of  which  are 
as  follows:  A  rail  road  from  Cairo,  near 
the  junction  of  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi 
rs.  by  way  of  Vandalia  and  Decatur,  to 
a  point  at  or  near  the  S.  termination  of 


the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal,  and 
thence  to  Galena,  $3,500,000.  A  rail  road 
from  Cluincy,  on  the  Mississippi  r.  by 
way  of  Columbus,  Meredosia,  in  Morgan 
co.  Springfield,  Sangamon  co.  Danville, 
in  Vermilion  co.  to  the  state  line,  towards 
Lafayette,  la.  $1,850,000.  A  rail  road 
from  Alton  to  Mount  Carmel.  A  rail 
road  from  Alton  to  Shawneetown,  to  di 
verge  from  the  former  at  Edwardsville. 
A  rail  road  from  Peoria  to  Warsaw,  on 
the  Mississippi  r. 

A  branch  of  the  Central  Rail  Road,  at 
a  point  on  a  line  from  Shelbyville,  Shelby 
co.  to  Hillsboro',  via  Charleston,  Coles 
co.  and  Paris  to  the  Indiana  state  line,  in 
the  direction  of  Terre  Haute. 

A  rail  road  from  Lower  Alton,  via 
Hillsboro',  to  the  Central  Rail  Road,  to 
intersect  the  former  rail  road  to  Terre 
Haute. 

A  rail  road  from  Bloomington,  McLean 
co.  to  Mackinaw  t.  Tazewell  co.  with  a 
branch  to  Illinois  r.  to  connect  with  the 
Peoria  and  Warsaw  Rail  Road,  and  an 
other  branch  to  Pekin. 

A  rail  road  from  Belleville,  by  way  of 
Lebanon,  to  intersect  the  rail  road  from 
Alton  to  Mount  Carmel. 

Besides  these,  there  are  several  rail 
roads  undertaken  by  private  companies  ; 
among  which  are,  a  rail  road  from  Jack 
sonville  to  Augusta,  22  m. ;  a  rail  road 
from  Chicago  to  Des  Plaines,  12m.:  a 
rail  road  from  St.  Louis  to  the  coal  mines 
at  Bluffs,  6  m. ;  a  rail  road  from  Naples 
to  Jacksonville. 

The  Illinois  fy  Michigan  Canal  ex 
tends  from  Chicago,  on  Lake  Michigan, 
to  Peru,  on  Illinois  r.  100  m. 

Besides  these,  liberal  appropriations 
have  been  made  for  improving  the  Wa 
bash,  Illinois,  Rock,  Little  Wabash,  and 
Kaskaskia  rs.  and  several  public  roads. 

ILLINOIS  R.  a  very  important  r. 
whose  northern  source  is  Fox  r.  rising  in 
Wisconsin  Territory,  and  its  E.  source 
the  Kankakee.  When  the  Kankakee  and 
the  R.  des  Plaines  unite,  they  take  the  name 
of  Illinois.  The  comparative  length  of 
the  Illinois,  including  Fox  r.  is  about  400 
m.  falling  into  the  Mississippi  20m.  above 
with  the  Miss 


its    junction 


tissouri.     The 


length  of  the  Illinois  proper  is  about 
265  m.  It  is  navigable,  generally,  for 
210  in.  and  at  high  water  as  far  as  Otta 
wa,  about  220  m.  The  navigation  of  the 
r.  by  steam  and  other  vessels  is  consider 
able  and  fast  increasing.

INDIANA,  one  of  the  United 
States,  bounded  N.  by  Michigan  and  the 
Lake,  E.  by  Ohio,  S.  by  Kentucky,  and 
W.  by  Illinois.  Its  greatest  length  from 
N.  to  S.  is  275  m.  by  145  m.  in  breadth, 
and  contains  about  33,000  square  m. 

The  surface  of  the  country  is  generally 
level,  with  occasional  broken  and  uneven 
sections,  which,  however,  are  more  par 
ticularly  confined  to  the  neighborhood 
of  the  Ohio  r.  in  the  S.  part  of  the 
state.  There  are  many  prairies,  some  " 
which  are  extensive,  containing  belts 
good  timber  on  the  streams  which  cross 
them. 

The  climate  is  similar  to  that  of  Ohio 
and  Illinois,  and  is  generally  healthy,  ex 
cept  on  the  borders  of  Lake  Michigan, 
which  are  subject  to  heavy  rains.  The 
•winters  are  short,  and  not  usually  very 
severe. 

The  soil  is  extremely  rich  and  produc 
tive.  The  prairies  are  beautiful  and  well 
adapted  to  the  growth  of  wheat  and  In 
dian  corn.  But  much  of  the  country  in 
the  N.  part  of  the  state  is  low,  and  too 
wet  for  cultivation. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Ohio,  which 
forms  the  S.  border  of  the  state — the  Wa- 
bash,  White,  White  Water,  Kankakee, 
Salamanic  and  Mississinewa. 

The  chief  towns  are  New  Albany,  Jef- 
fersonville,  Vincennes,  Indianapolis,  (the 


late  capital  of  the  state,)  and  Springfield, 
the  present  state  capital. 

Indiana  College  was  founded  in  1827, 
and  is  located  at  Bloomington.  The  U. 
S.  granted  two  townships  of  land  to  this 
college.  The  general  subject  of  common 
school  education  had  not  been  much  at 
tended  to,  up  to  the  year  1838,  although 
provided  for  in  the  constitution. 

The  population  of  the  state  has  increas 
ed  very  rapidly.  In  1800,  it  was  only 
5,641 ;  1810,  24,520;  1820,  147,178:  1830, 
343;031. 

Indiana  was  visited  as  early  as  1703 
by  the  French  traders  and  soldiers  from 
Canada,  and  some  small  settlements  were 
made,  particularly  on  the  Wabash,  among 
which  was  Vincennes.  The  settlers  lived 
a  long  time  in  almost  entire  seclusion 
from  the  rest  of  the  world.  The  savages 
frequently  harassed  them  and  broke  up 
their  settlements.  In  1763,  the  country 
passed  by  treaty  into  the  hands  of  the 
English,  but  it  was  merely  nominal.  Be 
fore  1800,  Indiana  was  included  in  the 
general  territory  NW.  of  the  Ohio  r.  and' 
from  1800  to  1809,  it  was  united  in  its 
territorial  government  with  Illinois.  In 
1816,  it  was  admitted  into  the  Union  as  a 
state. 

The  settlers  suffered  so  much  from  the 
savages,  that  in  1811,  Gen.  Harrison  was 
sent  against  them  with  an  armed  force. 
They  encamped  at  Tippecanoe,  near 
Prophets  town,  where  the  Indians  were 
assembled  to  the  number  of  600  warriors. 
After  negotiation,  in  which  the  Indians 
professed  great  friendship,  they  arose  at 
night  and  attacked  the  American  camp 
with  horrid  shouts  and  yells.  The  troops 
were  at  first  thrown  into  confusion,  but 
of  were  rallied,  and  succeeded  in  entirely  de- 
of  feating  the  savages.  Two  hundred  Ameri 
cans  fell  in  the  battle. 

Internal  Improvements. — The  public 
improvements  now  in  progress  in  this 
state  are — The  \Vaba,sh  tf*  Erie  Canal,  to 
connect  Lake  Erie  at  Toledo,  on  the  Mau- 
mee  Bay,  with  the  Wabash  r.  at  Terre 
Haute. 

The  Central  Canal  connects  the  Wa 
bash  and  Erie  Canal,  at  Peru,  on  the 
Wabash  r.  with  the  Ohio  r.  atEvansville, 
and  is  again  connected  with  the  Wabash' 
and  Erie  Canal  at  Terre  Haute,  by  a 
cross  cut  intersecting  it  at  Point  Com 
merce,  at  the  mouth  of  Eel  r.  40$  m.  long. 

The  While  Water  Canal  is  to  connect 

ambridge  City,  on  the  national  road, 
with  the  Ohio  r.  at  Lawrenceburgh,  76  m.

and  flows  NW.  to  the  Ohio  r.  at  Port 
William,  Gallatin  co.  It  is  navigable  in 
high  water  for  steamboats  to  Frankfort, 
the  capital.  Length,  325  m.  This  r.  flows 
through  a  rich  agricultural  country,  con 
taining  coal,  iron,  salt  and  lumber,  and  a 
population  of  180,000. 

.KENTUCKY,  one  of  the  Uni 
ted  States,  is  bounded  N.  by  Indiana  and 
Ohio,  E.  by  Virginia,  S.  by  Tennessee, 
and  W.  by  Missouri  and  Illinois.  Its 

freatest  length  is  400  m.  from  E.  to  W. 
ts  mean  breadth,  N.  and  S.  140  m. — with 
an   area   of  40,600   square  m.   or  about 
26,000,000  acres. 

The  state  originally  formed  part  of  Va. 
and  was  first  settled  by  the  celebrated  Col. 
Daniel  Boone,  the  backwoodsman,  who 
built  a  log  hut,  and  established  himself 
with  his  family,  in  the  midst  of  great  dif 


ficulties  and  discouragements,  in  1769. 
Lexington  was  founded  in  1776.  The 
state  was  set  apart  from  Va.  in  1790,  and 
in  1792  it  was  admitted  into  the  Union. 

The  citizens  of  Kentucky  have  always 
been  distinguished  for  their  gallantry  and 
chivalry,  which  were  particularly  mani 
fested  in  their  enthusiasm  to  share  in  the 
toil  and  glory  of  the  late  war  of  1812. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Ohio,  which 
forms  the  whole  northern  boundary,  the 
Kentucky,  Licking,  Green,  Cumberland, 
Tennessee,  Salt,  and  Big  Sandy  r.  which 
forms  half  of  the  E.  boundary.  The 
Kentucky  r.  flows  through  a  chasm  of 
limestone  several  hundred  feet  perpendicu 
lar  height. 

The  chief  towns  are  Louisville,  which 
is  the  largest ;  Lexington,  which  is  the 
oldest ;  Maysville,  and  Frankfort,  the 
state  capital. 

The  surface  of  the  country  is  undula 
ting  and  diversified,  presenting  but  few 
great  elevations,  except  in  the  eastern  part, 
which  is  mountainous.  A  large  portion 
of  the  central  section  of  the  state  is  a  rich 
and  most  beautiful  country,  not  surpassed 
by  any  in  the  world.  The  soil 
throughout  the  state  is  very  fertile. 

The  climate  is  healthy  and  agreeable — 
the  winters  seldom  lasting  longer  than 
three  months. 

The  whole  country  W.  of  the  moun 
tains  rests  on  a  bed  of  limestone  from  8 
to  10  feet  below  the  surface.  There  are 
many  remarkable  cavities,  called  "  sink 
holes,"  caused  by  the  waters  penetrating 
through  the  limestone.  Some  of  them  are 
60  feet  deep,  and  250  in  circumference  at 
the  top. 

There  are  also  a  number  of  wonderful 
caverns  of  great  depth  and  extent.  The 
Mammoth  Cave  near  Green  River  is  the 
most  celebrated.  It  has  been  explored  to 
the  extent  of  15  m.  without  reaching  the 
termination. 

Iron  is  found  abundantly — also  cop 
peras,  lead  and  coal  are  found  in  different 
parts  of  the  state.  Salt  springs  are  nu 
merous. 

The  principal  agricultural  productions 
are  wheat,  hemp  and  tobacco.  Indian 
corn  and  cotton  are  also  raised,  and  a 


great  variety  of  fruits. 

A  great  trade  is  carried  on  by  river 
navigation,  in  the  various  agricultural 
productions.  A  large  number  of  fine 
horses  and  cattle  are  also  raised  and  trans 
ported  on  flat  boats  down  the  rivers,  or 
driven  across  the  mountains  into  the  At 
lantic  states. 

Of  religious  denominations,  the  Bap 
tists  are  the  most  numerous.  There  are 


KEY 


147  KIN 


also  a  large  number  of  Presbyterians  and 
Methodists.  The  Catholics  and  Episco 
palians  are  less  numerous. 

There  are  several  colleges  in  this  state, 
viz:  The  Transylvanian  University,  at 
Lexington;  the  Central  College,  at  Dan 
ville;  Cumberland  College,  at  Princeton; 
a  college  at  Augusta,  and  one  at  George 
town.  Also  a  Catholic  Seminary,  called 
St.  Joseph's  College,  at  Bardstown.  Com 
mon  school  education  has  not  yet  received 
that  attention  which  its  great  importance 
demands.

LOUISIANA,  one  of  the  Uni 
ted  States,  bounded  on  toe  N.  by  Arkan 
sas  and  Mississippi,  E.  by  Mississippi  and 
the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  S.  by  G.  of  Mexico, 
and  W.  by  Texas.  Its  greatest  length, 
E.  and  W.  is  320  m.  Its  greatest  breadth 
N.  and  S.  270  m.  and  contains  about 
48,000  square  miles. 

In  1682,  part  of  the  country  was  ex 
plored  by  La  Salle,  and  called  Louisiana- 
after  Louis  XIV.  He  began  a  settlement' 
in  1684  at  the  Bay  of  St.  Bernard  on  the 
G.  of  Mexico  about  300  m.  W.  of  the 
mouth  of  the  Mississippi.  The  Missis 
sippi  r.  had  been  already  discovered  in 
1673  by  two  French  missionaries,  who 
crossed  from  Quebec,  by  way  of  the 
Lakes,  to  the  Mississippi,  and  down  the 
r.  to  the  mouth  of  the  Arkansas. 

A  more  permanent  settlement  was  made 
in  1699  :  and  in  1717,  the  city  of  New 
Orleans  was  founded.  In  1763,  Louis 
iana,  which  included  Arkansas,  Missouri, 
and  all  the  territory  now  in  possession  of 
the  United  States  W.  of  the  Mississippi 
r.  was  ceded  by  France  to  Spain,  but 
was  not  taken  possession  of  by  that  pow 
er  until  1769.  It  was  ceded  back  to 
France  in  1800;  and  in  1803  it  was  pur 
chased  by  the  U.  States  for  60,000,000 
frnncs.  or  over  15,000,000  dollars.  In 
1812  Louisiana,  as  at  present  denned, 
was  admitted  into  the  Union  as  a  sove 
reign  State.  In  1814  the  State  was  in 
vaded  by  a  British  army  under  Gen. 
Packenham,  which,  after  several  indeci 
sive  actions,  was  completely  repulsed 
with  great  slaughter,  by  Gen.  Jackson, 
below  New  Orleans,  Jan.  8,  1815. 

Three-fourths  of  the  surface  of  the  state 
may  be  considered  an  entire  level — divid 
ed  into  swamps,  prairies,  alluvions,  pine 
forests,  hickory  and  oak  lands.  The  ele 
vations  are  very  slight,  and  are  principally

if!  the  western  section.  Some  of  the  prairies 
are  of  vast  extent,  containing  from  5,000 
to  8,000  square  m.  The  Attakapas  and  the 
Opelousas  prairies  are  the  largest.  They 
contain  rich  pasture  for  cattle,  and  are 
fringed  with  forests  of  pine  on  the  N.  and 
S.  Many  spots  exhibit  beautiful  fertile 
plantations,  on  which  cotton  and  indigo 
are  cultivated,  and  large  herds  of  cattle 
may  be  seen  quietly  grazing. 

A  great  portion  of  the  state,  amounting 
to  5,000,000  acres,  is  annually  inundated 
by  the  waters  of  the  Mississippi.  Part 
of  this  soil  is  of  the  greatest  fertility,  and 
is  susceptible  of  being  drained — other 
portions  are  composed  of  cypress  swamps 
and  marshes. 

Cotton  is  the  great  staple  of  the  state, 
but  sugar  is  produced  in  great  quantities 
in  the  more  elevated  soil.  Rice  also  is 
produced  on  the  banks  of  the  Mississippi. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Missis 
sippi,  Red  r.  Washita,  Atchafalaya, 
Black,  Lafourche,  Sabine,  Tensaw,  Cal- 
casia  and  Beuff.  The  state  abounds  in 
numerous  lakes,  the  principal  of  which 
are  Lake  Borgne,  Pontchartrain,  Sabine, 
Calcasia  and  Barrataria. 

The  chief  towns  are  New  Orleans,  the 
capital  of  the  state,  Donaldsonville,  St. 
Martins,  Alexandria,  St.  Francisville,  Ba 
ton  Rouge  and  Natchitoeh.es — but  N.  Or

which  it  is  connected  by  a  rail  road  and 
canal.  The  growth  of  this  place  is  a  most 
remarkable  example  of  the  activity  and 
enterprise  of  the  American  people.  In 
1817,  there  was  but  one  manufactory  ;  it 
now  contains  a  large  number,  principally 
cotton,  with  several  millions  of  dollars 
invested,  and  some  of  them  the  largest  in 
the  U.  States.  The  water  is  conveyed

TO  A I BT  IS,  one  of  the  U.  States, 
in  the  NE.  part,  is  bounded  N.  and  NW. 
by  Lower  Canada,  E.  by  New  Brunswick, 
S.  by  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  and  W.  by 
New  Hampshire.  It  lies  between  43°  5' 
and  48°  6'  N.  lat.  and  66°  49'  and  71° 
W.  long,  from  Greenwich.*  Its  greatest 
length  is  348  m — greatest  breadth,  180  m. 
Area  about  33,300  square  m. 

The  country  was  originally  granted  to 
the  Council  of  Plymouth  by  James  I.  in 
1606,  who  attempted  a  settlement  at  the 
mouth  of  the  Kennebeck  r.  which  failed. 
In  1624  the  company  granted  it  to  Gorges 
and  Mason,  under  whom  it  was  first  per 
manently  settled  in  1630.  Massachusetts 
purchased  the  territory  of  them,  and  in 
1691  her  charter  embracing  it  was  con 
firmed.  It  remained  a  district  of  Massa 
chusetts  until  1820,  when  it  became  a 
separate  state,  and  was  admitted  into  the 
Union. 

The  surface  of  the  country,  though  not 
mountainous,  presents  some  broken  ridges 
in  continuation  of  the  Appalachian  range ; 
and  occasional  elevations  which  rise  sev 
eral  thousand  feet.  A  range  of  high 
lands  enters  the  state  from  the  N.  part 
of  New  Hampshire  and  runs  parallel 
with  the  St.  Lawrence,  continuing  a  north 
erly  and  westerly  course,  intersecting  the 
N.  and  S.  line  which  forms  the  E.  boun 
dary  of  Me.  These  are  the  highlands 
which  divide  the  waters  which  flow  into 
the  St.  Lawrence  from  those  which  flow 
into  the  Atlantic.  There  are  other  con 
siderable  elevations  in  irregular  groups, 
of  which  the  principal  are  the  Katahdin, 
White  Cap,  Saddleback,  Ebeeme  and 
Spence  Mountains.  The  Katahdin  is 
5,375  feet  high ;  several  of  the  others  are 
from  3,500  to  4,000  feet  above  tide. 

The  winters  are  generally  severe.  The 
ground  is  covered  with  snow  in  the  inte- 


The  limits  here  given  are  according  to  the  Ameri 
can  claim  under  the  treaty  of  Ghent,  describing  the 
boundary  in  these  words :— "  From  the  north-west  an 
gle  of  Nova  Scotia,  viz :  that  angle  which  is  formed 
By  a  line  drawn  due  north  from  the  source  of  St.  Croix 
rivor  to  the  highlands,  along  the  said  highlands  which 
divide  those  rivers  that  empty  themselves  into  the  St. 
Lawrence  from  those  that  fall  into  the  Atlantic  Ocean 
to  the  northwestemmost  head  of  the  Connecticut 
river."  This  boundary  ic  now  in  dispute.  The  British 
claim  a  line  S.  of  the  head  waters  of  the  Aroostook, 
Allairash  and  S.  branch  of  St.  Johns— beginning  a» 
Mars-hill.  The  award  of  the  King  of  the  Netherlands 
making  the  channel  of  St.  Johns  and  St.  Francis  river* 
the  boundary,  being  a  positive  departure  from  the  termi 
of  the  treaty,  ha*  not  been  acceded  to  by  the  U.  3.

rior  and  southern  parts  for  three  or  four 
months  in  the  year,  and  in  the  forests  and 
mountainous  regions  for  five  months. 
The  summers  are  hot,  but  not  sufficiently 
long  for  the  favorable  cultivation  of  Indian 
corn,  though  a  considerable  quantity  is 
raised.  The  longest  season  of  vegetation 
is  between  the  20th  April  and  15th  Oc 
tober. 

The  soil  is  extremely  various.  Be- 
Iween  the  rivers  Kennebeck  and  Penob- 
6cot  it  is  very  fertile,  and  favorable  to  the 
growth  of  wheat  and  other  grains.  Along 
the  coast  it  is  generally  of  a  poorer  quali 
ty.  The  country  abounds  in  timber, 
which  may  be  considered  its  chief  pro 
duction.  Much  of  the  land  is  well  adapt 
ed  to  grazing. 

The  principal  lakes  are  the  Moosehead, 
50  m.  long  by  12  broad  ;  Umbago  Lake, 
(partly  in  N.  H.)  18  m.  long  by  10  broad ; 
Chesuncook  Lake,  20  m.  long  by  3  broad, 
and  Sebago  Pond,  12  m.  long.  The  state 
abounds  in  numerous  smaller  lakes  and 
ponds. 

There  are  numerous  islands  on  the 
coast.  The  principal  are  Mount  Desert, 
Grand  Menan,  Deer  Island  and  the  Fox 
Islands. 

The  principal  bays  are  Penobscot,  Pas- 
samaquoddy,  Frenchman's,  Casco  and 
Portland  harbor.  There  are  many  other 
fine  harbors  favorable  for  commerce. 

The  chief  rivers  are  the  Penobscot, 
Kennebeck,  Androscoggin,  Saco,  St. 
Johns  and  St.  Croix.  Abundance  of  fish 
are  taken  all  along  the  coast. 

Iron  abounds  in  many  parts  of  the  state, 
and  lead  is  found  in  small  quantities. 
Slate  of  a  superior  quality  exists  between 
the  Kennebeck  and  St.  Johns  rs.  Marble 
is  found  on  the  Penobscot,  and  good 
building  gratn'te  abounds  in  all  parts  of 
the  state.  Lime  is  abundant  in  Waldo 
and  Lincoln*  cos. 

The  principal  towns  are  Portland,  the 
former  capital,  Hallowell,  Augusta,  the 
present  state  capital,  Bath,  Brunswick, 
York,  Saco,  Bangor,  Waldoboro,  Ma- 
ehias,  Wiscassei,  Eastport  and  Kenne- 
bunk. 

The  state  has  many  respectable  insti 
tutions  of  learning.  Bowdoin  College, 
at  Brunswick,  founded  from  lands  grant 
ed  by  Hon.  James  Bowdoin,  in  1704, 
and  other  lands  from  Massachusetts  and 
Maine.  Waterville  College,  incorporated 
in  1813.  Bangor  Theological  Seminary. 
Maine  Wesleyan  Seminary,  at  Readfield, 
incorpoi  '"d  in  1822.  Gardiner  Lyceum, 
establish*  u  in  1822,  to  prepare  young  men 
by  a  scientific  education  to  become  skilful 
farmers  and  mechanics. 


Besides  these,  there  are  about  35  incor 
porated  academies,  aided  by  grants  of 
land  from  the  state.  The  state  has  also 
provided  for  common  school  instruction, 
A  sum  equal  to  40  cents  for  each  inhabi 
tant  is  raised  bylaw  in  every  town,  to  be 
apportioned  among  the  school  districts.

land  to  Sebago  Pond,  20£  m.  and  has  26 
lock&.  It  was  completed  in  1829.  By 
means  of  a  lock  in  Songo  r.  it  is  united 
with  Brandy  and  Long  Ponds,  making 
the  whole  water  communication  50  m. 
Total  cost,  near  $250,000. 

The  Bangor  cf-  Orono.Rail  Road,  from 
Bangor  to  Orono  or  Oldtown,  10  m.  long, 
completed  in  1836.  No  other  canal  or 
rail  road  is  completed. 

A  rail  road  has  been  projected  from  the 
coast  of  Maine  to  Quebec,  and  a  recon- 
noisance  of  three  routes  has  been  made 
by  Col.  Long,  of  the  United  States  Topo 
graphical  Engineers.  The  route  from 
Portland  to  Quebec,  277  m.  is  estimated 
to  coat  $2,446,000.'  The  route  from-  Wis- 
casset  to  Quebec,  246  m. ;  cost,  $1,963,500. 
The  route  from  Belfast  to  Quebec,  227  m. ;

nounced  the  most  eligible. 

A  rail  road  has  been  projected  from 
Portland  to  Bangor,  132  m.  long. 

The  Portland,  Saco  fy  Portsmouth

IYTAR  YL  AND,  one  of  the  U. 
States,  is  bounded  N.  by  Pennsylvania, 
E.  by  Delaware  and  the  ocean,  S.  &  W. 
by  Virginia. 

Maryland  was  first  explored  by 
Lord  Baltimore,  a  Catholic,  who  visited 
the  country  to  form  a  settlement  on  ac 
count  of  the  persecution  of  that  sect  in 
England.  He  died  on  his  return  to  Eng 
land,  while  preparing  for  emigration. 
His  son  obtained  the  grant  of  the  territo 
ry,  and  named  it  Maryland,  in  honor  of 
Henrietta  Maria,  the  Glueen  of  Charles  I. 
He  appointed  his  brother,  Leonard  Cal- 
vert,  governor  of  the  colony,  who  estab 
lished  a  settlement  in  1634,  at  St.  Mary's, 
on  the  Potomac.  The  Catholics  were  se 
verely  persecuted  for  some  years  after, 
and  the  colonists  experienced  various 
troubles,  which  were  removed  at  the 
restoration  of  Charles  II.  in  1660.  The 
Calvert  family  were  a  second  time  de 
prived  of  the  government,  by  William 
and  Mary,  and  Maryland  continued  a 
royal  government  until  1716,  when  the 
proprietor  was  again  restored  to  his  rights. 
On  the  14th  of  August,  1776,  the  consti 
tution  of  the  State  was  ratified. 

The  only  mountains  are  alone:  the  N. 
bank  of  the  Potomac,  where  the  Appala 
chian  ridge  crosses  a  narrow  strip  of  the 
State.  The  rest  of  the  State  is  generally 
undulating  and  level. 

There  is  much  good  land  in  the  State, 
adapted  to  the  cultivation  of  wheat  and 
tobacco.  The  valleys  in  the  W.  part  of 
the  State  particularly,  are  extremely  fer 
tile  and  productive. 

The  climate  is  rather  milder  than  that 
of  Pennsylvania,  and  somewhat  warmer 
in  summer.  The  weather  is  liable  to  sud 
den  changes  of  heat  and  cold.  In  the 
low  lands,  on  the  shores,  it  is  subject  to 
intermittent  fevers;  but  in  the  more  ele 
vated  and  undulating  sections,  the  climate 
is  salubrious  and  healthy. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Potomac, 
Susquehannah,  Patuxent,  Patapsco,  and 
the  Severn,  which  fall  into  Chesapeake 
Bay  on  the  W.  side.  On  the  E.  side  are 
Chester,  Choptank  and  Nanticoke  rs. 

TheN.  half  of  Chesapeake  Bny  pene 
trates  far  into  the  interior,  dividing  the 
State  into  two  sections,  called  the  Eastern 
and  Western  shores.  The  principal 
islands  are  Kent  island,  the  Tangier 
islands,  and  Assatiegue  island.

The  chief  towns  are  Baltimore,  the  com 
mercial  metropolis-,  Annapolis,  and  Fred- 
ericktown. 

Maryland,  though  not  called  a  manu 
facturing  State,  contains  numerous  man 
ufactories  of  cotton,  wool,  copper,  and 
iron-rolling  and  flouring  mills.  Flour  is 
the  great  staple  of  the  State  ;  and  tobacco 
is  also  produced  in  considerable  quan- 
tities. 

Washington  College,  at  Chestertown, 
was  instituted  in  1782;  St.  John's  College, 
at  Annapolis,  was  founded  in  1784.  The 
Medical  College  was  founded  in  Balti 
more,  1807,  and  in  1812,  was  chartered 
as  the  "  University  of  Maryland" — hav 
ing  added  to  it  the  faculties  of  Law  and 
Divinity.  St.  Mary's  College  at  Balti 
more,  a  Catholic  institution,  was  founded 
in  1799.  The  College  at  Mt.  St.  Mary, 
near  Emmitsburg,  also  Catholic,  was 
founded  in  1830.

Internal  Improvements. — Two  of  the 
most  important  improvements  in  the  U. 
States  have  been  undertaken  in  Mary 
land.  The  Chesapeake  <f-  Ohio  Canal , 
and  the  Baltimore  tf*  Ohio  Rail  Road. 

The  Chesapeake  fy  Ohio  Canal  w&s 
bartered  by  Virginia  in  1824,  confirmed 
by  Maryland  and  Congress,  1825,  and 
commenced  in  1828.  It  is  to  extend  from 
the  Potomac,  near  Georgetown,  to  Cum 
berland  on  the  Potomac;  thence  by  Wills 
cr.  Youghiogeny  and  Monongahela  rs; 
to  Piltsburg.  Length  341J  m.  Distance 
from  Georgetown  to  the  Pennsylvania 
State  line,  189  m.  The  original  estimate 
of  cost  was  822,375,000.  A  later  esti 
mate  is  $9,347,408.  The  State  of  Mary 
land  subscribes  $3,000,000  for  the  work, 
and  the  U.  States  Government  $1,000,000. 
The  whole  lockage  required  will  be 
3,215  feet.  The  locks  are  to  be  100  feet 
by  15.  Breadth  of  the  canal  at  the  sur 
face  of  the  water,  from  60  to  8B  feet;  at 
the  bottom,  50  feet ;  depth  from  6  to  7 
feet.  A  tunnel  is  required  through  the 
AHeghany  mountains,  at  the  summit  level, 
4  m.  and  80  yards  in  length. 

Port  Deposit  Canal,  10  m.  long,  along 
the  E.  bank  of  the  Susquehannah  r.  ex 
tends  from  Port  Deposit  to  the  boundary 
of  the  State — designed  to  overcome  the 
rapids.

The  Baltimore  $•  Ohio  Kail  Road, 
was  incorporated  in  18'27,  by  the  Legis 
latures  of  Maryland,  Virginia,  and  Penn 
sylvania,  commenced  July  4,  1828 — to 
extend  from  Baltimore  to  the  Ohio  river, 
about  360  m.  $3,000,000  of  the  stock 
have  been  subscribed  by  the  State  of  Ma 
ryland,  and  $3,000,000  by  the  city  of  Bal 
timore.  A  considerable  portion  of  the 
road  is  completed  and  in  operation. 

The  Baltimore  fy  Port  Deposit  R.  Road, 
.originally  designed  to  connect  with  the 
Oxford  and  Columbia  rail  roads  to  Phila 
delphia  extends  from  Baltimore  to  Ha 
vre  de  Grace,  5  m.  below  Port  Deposit ; 
and  from  Baltimore  34J  m.  From  a 
point  opposite  to  Havre  de  Grace,  the 
Wilmington  &  Susquehannah  rail  road

Although  Cabot,  when  he  discovered 
North  America  in  1497,  sailed  along  the 
coast  of  Massachusetts,  yet  no  regular 
discovery  was  made  until  1602,  when 
Bartholomew  Gosnold  explored  Cape  Cod 
and  Buzzard's  Bay.  Capt.  Smith,  in 
1614,  explored  the  whole  coast  of  Maine 
and  Massachusetts,  to  the  S.  extremity 
of  the  bay.  The  flourishing  descriptions 
he  gave  of  the  country  induced  Charles 
I.  then  Prince  Charles,  to  call  it  New 
England.  No  regular  settlement,  how 
ever,  was  made  until  December  22d,  1620, 
when  the  Puritans,  to  the  number  of  101, 
emigrated  to  America  on  account  of  their 
persecutions  in  England.  They  landed 
at  Plymouth,  and  established  a  republican 
form  of  government,  on  the  principles  of 
virtue  and  intelligence.  Every  child  in 
the  community  was  to  be  instructed.  Re 
ligion  was  an  object  of  special  care  with 
the  colonists,  which  extended  even  to  the 
privilege  of  voting  being  confined  to  the 
church  members.  Other  settlements  were 
soon  made  along  the  coast.  Salem  was 
founded  in  1627,  and  Boston  in  1630. 
The  hardships  and  dangers  of  the  early 
settlers  were  very  great.  The  first  gene 
ral  court,  consisting  of  24  representatives 
from  the  different  settlements,  was  held  in 
1634.  Previous  to  this,  all  the  freemen 
assembled  from  time  to  time  for  the  trans 
action  of  public  business.  Trial  by  jury 
was  now  established.  In  1643,  a  union 
took  place  between  all  the  New  England 
colonies.  In  1664,  the  province  of  Maine 
placed  itself  under  the  protection  of  Mas 
sachusetts.  The  colonists  suffered  much 
in  a  war  with  Philip,  which  broke  out  in 


MAS  1 

1675.  The  colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay 
and  that  of  Plymouth,  or  the  Old  Colony, 
were  united  by  a  royal  charter  in  1692. 
The  governors  were  appointed  by  the 
king  of  England,  who  exercised  the  power 
also  of  annulling  the  colonial  laws.  This 
was  the  general  condition  of  the  colony 
until  the  revolution,  in  1776,  in  which 
Massachusetts  took  a  foremost  and  active 
part.  A  state  constitution  was  formed  in 
1780,  which  ,was  revised  in  1820,  and 
again  revised  and  ratified  in  Nov.  1836. 
A  serious  insurrection  broke  out  in  the 
state  in  1786,  under  Shays,  which  was 
not  quelled  without  great  difficulty  by  the 
troops  and  militia  under  Generals  Lincoln 
and  Shepard. 

The  general  surface  of  the  country  is 
somewhat  rough  and  uneven,  without  any 
very  considerable  mountains.  The  Green 
Mountain  range  of  Vermont  enters  the 
W.  part  of  Massachusetts,  which  are  here 
called  the  Hoosacand  Tagkannuc  ridges. 
Of  the  latter,  the  highest  elevation  is  Sad 
dle  Mountain,  in  the  N.  part,  near  4,000 
feet  high ;  and  Tagkannuc  Mountain, 
2,800  feet  high.  The  Hoosac  range  is 
less  elevated,  and  divides  the  branches  of 
the  Hoosac  and  Housatonic  rs.  The 
other  highest  elevations  are  Wachusett 
Mountain,  in  Worcester  co. :  Mount  Hoi- 
yoke  and  Mount  Tom,  in  Hampshire  co. 
and  Mount  Toby,  in  Franklin  co. 

The  chief  rivers  are  the  Connecticut 
and  its  tributaries,  Wcstfield,  Deerfield, 
Millers  and  Chickopee  rs. ;  the  Merri- 
mac,  Housatonic,  Hoosac,  Gluinnebaug, 
Pawtucket,  Charles,  Concord,  Taunton 
and  Nashua  rs.  Of  these,  only  two  afford 
much  facility  for  navigation. 

The  principal  bays  are  Massachusetts, 
Cape  Cod,  Buzzards,  Boston,  Barnstable 
and  Plymouth  Bays. 

The  principal  islands, are  Nantucket, 
Martha's  Vineyard  and  Elizabeth  Islands. 
The  prominent  capes  are  Cape  Cod,  Cape 
Ann  and  Nahant. 

The  winters  are  occasionally  severe, 
but  less  so  than  formerly.  Early  in  the 
spring,  the  NE.  winds  are  cold  and  disa 
greeable,  but  the  weather  in  May  and 
during  the  summer  becomes  settled,  mild 
and  agreeable.  The  country  assumes  a 
rich  and  beautiful  appearance,  the  air  is 
pure  and  healthy,  and  art  and  nature  seem 
to  vie  in  rendering  the  whole  face  of  things 
delightful  to  the  eye. 

The  middle  and  western  sections  of  the 
state  contain  many  beautiful,  fertile  tracts, 
in  a  high  state  of  cultivation.  In  the 
southern  and  eastern  parts  the  soil  is 
lighter,  and  on  the  coast  there  are  occa 
sional  marshy  and  barren  tracts.

The  commerce  of  Massachusetts  is  ex 
tensive,  and  second  only  to  that  of  New 
York.  Much  of  the  shipping  is  employed 
in  the  mackerel,  cod  and  whale  fisheries. 
The  whale  fishery  is  carried  on  chiefly 
from  Nantucket  and  New  Bedford.  This 
adventurous  business  has  been  justly  con 
sidered  as  a  nursery  of  skilful  and  enter 
prising  seamen. 

This  state  is  distinguished  for  her  man 
ufactures  of  every  description.  The  most 
considerable  are  those  of  cotton,  woollens, 
boots  and  shoes,  leather,  cordage,  wrought 
and  cast  iron,  nails,  hats,  straw  bonnets, 
glass,  paper,  oil  and  salt.  The  most 
extensive  manufactories  are  situated  in 
Lowell,  Waltham,  Taunton,  Fall  River 
and  Amesbury. 

The  principal  towns  are  Boston,  Salem, 
New  Bedford,  Gloucester,  Nantucket, 
Springfield,  Lowell,  Newburyport,  Lynn, 
Marblehead,  Plymouth,  Worcester,  Fall 
River,  Northampton  and  Haverhill. 

Massachusetts  contains  many  excellent 
literary  institutions,  among  which  are 
Harvard  University, at  Cambridge,  found 
ed  in  1638,  principally  from  a  donation 
of  John  Harvard  ;  Williams  College,  at 
Williamstown,  founded  in  1755;  Am- 
herst  College,  near  Northampton,  founded 
in  1821;  the  Theological  Seminary  at 
Andover,  founded  in  1807.  Besides  these, 
there  are  numerous  highly  respectable  in 
corporated  academies  in  the  state. 

Common  school  instruction  is  also  lib 
erally  provided  for  all  the  children  in  the 
state.  The  amount  raised  by  tax  in  the 
towns  for  common  schools,  according  to 
the  report  of  1837,  was  $391,993;  by 
voluntary  contribution,  $47,593 ;  paid  for 
tuition  in  private  schools  and  academies, 
$326,642:  total,  $766,228.  Sum  appor 
tioned  by  law  from  the  school  fund, 
$19,002. 

According  to  the  revision  of  the  con 
stitution  in  1836,  the  number  of  represen 
tatives  in  the  Legislature  is  reduced  from 
634  to  417.  Each  town  or  city  having 
300  ratable  polls,  may  elect  one  represen 
tative,  and  for  every  450  in  addition  to 
the  first  300,  one  representative  more. 
Formerly  one  representative  was  chosen 
for  every  150  ratable  polls,  and  one  for 
every  additional  225. 

Population  at  various  periods  :  In  1790, 
96,540;  1800,  422,845;  1810,  472,040; 
1820,  523.287;  1830,  610,408;  and  in 
1837,  701,331. 

According  to  the  returns  of  March, 
1837,  the  number  of  paupers  the  preced 
ing  year  was  5,580,  of  which  3,720  were 
born  in  Massachusetts,  633  in  other  states, 
and  1,192  in  foreign  countries.

_  but  few  elevations.  A  ridge  of  table 
land  in  the  centre  of  the  state  divides  the 
streams  which  flow  into  Lake  Michigan 
from  those  which  flow  into  Lakes  Huron, 
St.  Clair,  and  Erie. 

The  climate  is  mild  and  pleasant,  but 
frequently  subject  to  extremes  of  heat  and 
cold.  The  winters  are  less  severe  than 
formerly,  except  in  the  northern  parts. 

The  soil  is  exceedingly  fertile — produ 
cing  wheat,  corn,  and  other  grain,  and 
grass  in  great  abundance.  A  considerable 
portion  of  the  country  is  rich  prairie,  inter 
spersed  with  belts  of  beautiful  woodland. 
On  the  E.  shore  of  Lake  Michigan  are 
ranges  of  sand  hills,  which  rise  from  100 
to  300  feet  high — blown  up  by  the  prevail 
ing  west  winds.  The  country  abounds 
with  streams  and  small  lakes. 

The  principal  rivers  are  Grand  r.  St. 
Josephs,  Kalamazoo,  Raisin,  Huron,  Sa- 
ginaw,  Maskegon,  Flint,  Pent  Water, 
Tittibawasse,  and  Monistic, 

The  principal  towns  are  Detroit,  the 
capital,  Monroe,  Tecumseh,  Brownstown, 
Ann  Arbour,  Ypsilante,  Pontiac,  and 
Dexter.

by  which  a  section  of  land  in  each  town 
ship  is  reserved  for  the  support  of  prima

$3,520,000. 

Internal  Improvements.  A  number  of 
important  rail  roads  have  been  projected, 
and  incorporated,  some  of  which  have 
been  commenced.  In  March,  1837,  an  act 
was  passed  establishing  a  system  of  inter 
nal  improvement,  under  the  direction  of  a 
board  of  commissioners,  and  a  loan  of 
$5,000,000  was  authorized. 

The  board  was  directed  to  cause  sur 
veys  to  be  made  of  the  three  following 
rail  roads  across  the  state : 

1.  The  Central  Pail  Road,  to  extend 
from  Detroit  to  the  mouth  of  St.  Josephs  r. 

2.  The  Southern  Rail  Road,  to  extend 
from   the  navigable   waters  of  the  river 
Raisin  to  New  Buffalo,  via  Monroe. 

3.  The  Northern  Rail  Road,  to  extend 
from  Palma,  or  the  mouth  of  Black  r:  to 
the  navigable  waters  of  Grand  r.  or  to  L. 
Michigan. 

The  following  rail  roads  have  been  pro 
jected  by  incorporated  companies : 

The  Gibraltar  fy  Clinton  Rail  Road. 
Capital,  $400,000. 

The  Detroit  $•  Shiawassee  Rail  Road. 
Capital,  $500,000. 

The  Detroit  if-  Maumee  Rail  Road,  to 
extend  from  Detroit  to  the  river  Maumee. 
Capital,  $500,000. 

The  Toledo  fy  Kalamazoo  Rail  Road, 
to  extend  from  the  Toledo  to  the  mouth  of 
the  Kalamazoo. 

Many  other  rail  roads  and  canals  have 
been  projected. 

The  legislature,  in  1838,  made  appro 
priations  for  internal  improvements  to  the

to  the  United  States  in  1798,  It  was  or 
ganized  as  a  territory,  including  Ala 
bama;  and  in  December.  1817r  was  ad 
mitted  into  the  Union  as.  a  state. 

The  surface  of  the  country  in  the  S. 
part  is  level,  with  some  moderate  eleva 
tions  in  the  SW.  In  the  N.  it  \&  gently 
undulating.  A  portion  of  the  state  is 
composed  of  pine  barrens.  The  soil  in 
the  S.  part  is  thin,  and  in  the  neighbor 
hood  of  the  Mississippi  it  is  generally  in 
undated  by  the  overflowing  of  the  river. 
In  the  N.  parts  the  soil  is  very  fertile. 

The  climate  is  unhealthy  in  the  low  and 
swampy  lands,  and  in  the  S.  parts  of  the 
state,  in  the  summer  season.  There  are 
no  winters  -r  but  ice  is  sometimes  seen  in 
the  N.  parts. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Mississip 
pi,  Pascagoula,  Pearl,  Yazoo,  Big  Black, 
arid  branches  of  the  Tombecbee. 

The  chief  towns  are  Natchex,  Monti- 
cello,  Warrenton,  Vicksburg,  and  Jack

The  northern  part  of  the  state  was  oc 
cupied  until  recently,  by  the  Ghickasaw 
and  Choctaw  Indians,  which  is  now  nil 
organized  into  counties.  The  state  con

MISSISSIPPI  R.  for  the  extent  of  its 
basin  and  commercial  importance,  and  its 
large  and  numerous  tributaries,  may  be 
justly  considered  the  most  important  rivet- 
in  the  world.  Its  extreme  source,  as  dis 
covered  by  Scoolcraft  in  1832,  is  Itasca 
Lake,  a  little  SW.  of  Cr.ss  Lake,  3,160 
m.  from  its  mouth,  and  1.500  feet  above 
the  level  of  the  sea.  The  r.  is  navigable 
to  the  Falls  of  St.  Anthony.  From  these 
falls  to  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri,  the  cur 
rent  averages  about  2  m.  an  hour  ;  below 
this  it  varies  from  2  to  4  m.  an  hour.  The 
navigation  is  considerably  obstructed  by 
sawyers  and  snags.  The  sawyers  are 
large  trees  which  have  been  swept  into  the 
current  by  the  floods  and  the  falling  banks ; 
their  roots  are  at  the  bottom,  and  their  tops 
at  the  surface  of  the  water.  Snags  are 
trees  which  are  fast  on  the  bottom  of  the 
river,  and  are  dangerous  at  low  water. 
Many  of  these  obstructions  have  been  re 
moved  by  government.  Steam  boats  as 
cend  the  river,  with  full  cargoes,  at  the 
rate  of  7  or  8  m.  an  hour.  They  reach 
Louisville  from  New  Orleans,  a  distance 
of  about  1,600  m.  in  8  or  10  days.  For 
merly,  the  time  occupied  in  ascending  the 
river  with  keel  boats,  to  the  mouth  of  the 
Ohio,  960  m.  was  from  7  to  8  weeks,  and 
frequently  longer.  The  ascending  navi 
gation  is  now  entirely  confined  to  steam 
boats,  which  has  changed  the  whole  as 
pect  of  business  in  the  west.  The  first 
steam  boat  on  the  Mi 
Pittsburg,  in 

now  the" channel  for  a  great  portion  of 
the  trade  of  the  eight  states  upon  its  bor 
ders  and  its  tributaries. 

At  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri,  the  Mis 
sissippi  is  a  mile  and  a  half  wide.  Below 
this,  to  the  mouth  of  the  Ohio,  the  aver 
age  width  is  three  quarters  of  a  mile.  Its  I  Length  of  the  Missouri  proper,  to  its 
average  width  thence  to  its  mouth,  does  j  mouth  in  the  Mississippi,  according  to  the 
not  exceed  one  mile.  The  annual  flood  j  estimate  of  Lewis  and  Clarke,  3,100  m. 
above  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri  com- lit  is  navigable  from  the  Great  Falls  to  the 


mences  generally  in  March,  and  subsides 
about  the  last  of  May.  Its  medium  height 
is  15  feet.  Below  the  mouth  of  the  Ohio, 
the  medial  height  is  50  feet;  the  highest 
rise,  60.  At  Baton  Rouge  it  is  about  30 
feet,  and  at  N.  Orleans,  12.  During  the 
flood  the  river,  below  the  Ohio,  overflows 
its  banks  in  many  places  for  20  or  30  miles. 
The  plantations  of  Louisiana  are  protect 
ed  by  levees  thrown  up  on  the  banks  of 
the  nver,principaHy  between  Baton  Rouge 
and  New  Orleans.  It  is  a  remarkable 
circumstance,  that,  notwithstanding  tha 
numerous  large  rivers  which  pour  their 
waters  into  the  Mississippi,  its  width  is 
rather  diminished  than  increased  below 
the  mouth  of  the  Missouri.  Its  peaceful 
waters,  however,  are  changed  into  a  more 
turbid  and  violent  current,  and  its  chan 
nel  is  considerably  deeper.  At  Donald- 
sonville  it  is  about  120  to  130  feet  deep, 
and  at  New  Orleans  about  100  feet.  At 
low  water,  above  the  mouth  of  the  Ohio, 
the  channel  is  about  6  or  7  feet  deep,  and 
above  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri,  to  the 
Des  Moines  rapids,  it  is  about  4  or  5  feet. 

The  principal  tributaries  of  the  Missis 
sippi,  are  the  St.  Peters,  St.  Croix,  Chip- 
pewa,  Wisconsin,  Des  Moines,  Illinois, 
Missouri,  Ohio,  St  Francis,  White,  Ar 
kansas,  and  Red  rivers. 

MISSISSIPPI,  Valley  of  the,  compre 
hends  the  vast  region  of  country  drained 
by  the  Mississippi  r.  and  its  branches,  be 
tween  the  Alleghany  and  Rocky  moun- 
tains^-extending  E.  and  W.  from  three  to 
five  thousand  miles.  It  abounds  in  soil 
of  unequalled  fertility,  and  within  the 
states  and  organized  territories,  is  rapidly 
increasing  in  population.  For  a  more  par 
ticular  description,  see  the  notices  of  the

MISSOURI  R.  the  main  stream  of  the 
Mississippi,  and  in  connection  with  that 
river,  the  longest  in  the  world.  Although 
the  course  of  discovery  has  established  the 
name  of  the  Mississippi  for  the  stream 
below  the  junction,  yet  the  Missouri  is 
much  the  longer,  and  is  already  a  consid 
erable  river  when  it  approaches  and  pass 
es  the  sources  of  the  Mississippi.  The 


m  the  Mississippi  was  built  at  |  Missouri  rises  in  the  Rocky  Mountains, 
n  1811.     This  noble  stream  is  I  in  three  streams,  called  Jefferson,  Madi 


son,  andGallatin  rivers,  lat.  44°.  W.  Ion. 
from  Washington,  between  32°  and  34°; 
and  from  Greenwich  between  111°  and 
113°.  The  entire  length  of  the  Missouri, 
including  the  Mississippi  below  the  junc 
tion,  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  is  4,420  m.

sea,  4,392  m.  The  principal  tributaries 
are  the  Yellow  Stone,  Running  Water, 
Jacques,  Platte,  Kanzas,  Grand  and  Osage 
rivers.  The  springs  which  form  the  re 
motest  sources  of  the  Oregon  or  Colum 
bia  r.  and  the  Missouri,  are  within  one 
mile  of  each  other.  The  Great  Falls  are 
2,575  m.  from  the  Mississippi,  where  the 
river  descends  355  feet  in  18  m.  The 
principal  falls,  for  grandeur  and  beauty, 
are  surpassed  only  by  Niagara.  The 
river,  which  is  here  840  feet  wide,  falls  per- 
pendiculary  96  feet.  The  pass  through  the 
Rocky  Mountains,  110  m.  above  the  falls, 
presents  the  wildest  and  sublimest  scenery 
imaginable.  The  rocks  rise  perpendicu 
larly  on  each  side  of  the  river,  from  1,000 
to  1,200  feet,  for  a  distance  of  6  m.  The 
current  of  the  Missouri  is  rapid,  and  more 
difficult  of  ascent  than  the  Mississippi. 
From  the  Kanzas  to  the  Mississippi,  it 
flows  from  5  to  6  m.  an  hour  ;  and  further 
below  it  sometimes  reaches  10  m.  an  hour. 
The  annual  floods  commence  in  March, 
and  the  r.  continues  to  rise  and  fall  until 
July,  the  highest  being  in  June.  The 
whole  course  of  the  Missouri  is  within 
the  territory  of  the  U.  States. 

1VXISSOUB.I,  one  of  the  United 
States,  is  bounded  N.  by  Iowa  Territory, 
E.  by  Illinois,  Kentucky  and  Tennessee, 
and  S.  by  Arkansas.  Its  medium  length, 
N.  and  S.  is  282  m. ;  E.  and  W.  200  m. ; 
area,  about  56,400  m. 

The  surface  of  this  great  state  presents 
the  greatest  variety  of  soil — from  barren, 
swampy  and  rocky  to  extremely  fertile. 
Much  of  it  is  rich  and  productive,  par 
ticularly  on  the  Missouri  r.  The  climate 
is  mild  and  salubrious. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Missis 
sippi,  which  forms  the  E.  boundary,  the 
Missouri,  Osage,  Grand,  Chariton,  Gas 
conade,  Big  Black,  Maramec  and  St. 
Francis.  The  chief  town  is  St.  Louis. 
Jefferson  City  is  the  capital. 

One  of  the  greatest  peculiarities  in  this 
state  is  the  immense  lead  mines,  which 
cover  an  area  of  3,000  square  m.  which 
have  produced  from  6  to  14  millions  of 
pounds  of  lead  annually.  Coal  is  also 
found  in  abundance. 

The  principal  agricultural  productions 
are  wheat,  corn,  rye,  oats,  hemp,  flax  and 
tobacco. 

The  principal  religious  denominations 
are  Baptists,  Methodists  and  Presbyte 
rians.  There  are  also  a  considerable 
number  of  Catholics. 

Members  of  the  Legislature  are  chosen

New  Hampshire  was  discovered  by 
Capt.  Smith  in  1614.  In  1622  it  was 
granted  by  patent  to  John  Mason,  under 
the  name  of  Laconia.  The  first  settle 
ments  were  made  in  the  following  year, 
at  Dover  and  Portsmouth.  In  1629,  all  |  but  18  m.  of  sea  coast,  and  one  harbor 


The  first  General  Assembly  convened  at 
Portsmouth,  in  1680.  In  1689  it  was 
again  united  to  Massachusetts,  and  again 
separated  in  1692.  From  1702  to  1741  it 
was  united  to  Massachusetts,  when  it  be 
came  a  separate  government.  During 
the  revolution,  it  was  under  a  temporary 
administration.  In  1784  a  new  constitu 
tion  was  adopted,  which  was  amended  in 
1792. 

The  surface  of  the  state  within  20  or 
30  m.  of  the  seacoast  is  generally  level. 
In  the  N.  and  NW.  parts  it  is  hilly  and 
mountainous.  The  White  Mountains, 
in  Coos  co.  are  considerable  elevations, 
and  the  highest  in  the  United  States. 
There  are  several  elevations  of  this  ridge 
between  the  Connecticut  and  Merrimack 
rs.  the  principal  of  which  are  Monad- 
nock,  Sunapee,  Kearsarge,  Mooshelock, 
(or  Moosehillock,)  and  Carrs  Mountain. 
Moosehillock  is  over  4,600  feet  high. 

The  soil  generally  is  fertile,  and  par 
ticularly  so  along  the  rivers.  The  hills 
afford  pasturage  for  immense  numbers  of 
cattle  and  sheep.  Some  of  the  valleys 
are  poor,  but  one  side  or  the  other  is  most 
ly  rich  and  productive.  The  climate  is 
less  severe  than  in  Maine.  The  rivers 
are  generally  frozen  in  November,  and 
the  earth  is  covered  with  snow,  which 
continues  until  April,  and  in  the  more 
elevated  and  uncultivated  sections,  until 
May.  The  summers  are  mild  and  salu 
brious.  Epidemics  are  seldom  known. 
Iron,  copper,  plumbago  and  soapstone  are 
found  in  this  state.  Beautiful  granite 
abounds  near  Concord,  Hopkinton,  Bos- 
cawen  and  other  places,  and  has  given 
this  the  appellation  of  the  "  granite  state." 

This  state  produces  much  excellent  pine 
timber,  which  grows  here  very  high  and 
straight.  The  whole  surface  was  origin 
ally  covered  with  forest  trees  of  all  varie 
ties.  Grain,  pork,  beef,  butter  and  cheese 
are  produced,  and  much  of  the  latter  arti 
cles  exported. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Connecti 
cut,  which  rises  in  the  N.  of  the  state,  the 
Merrimack  and  Piscataqua.  The  largest 
lake  is  the  Winnepiseogee.  There  are 
some  smaller  lakes,  such  as  Squam,  Sun 
apee  and  Ossipee.  New  Hampshire  has 


the  territory,  including  lands  purchased 
of  the  Indians  by  Rev.  John  Wheelwright, 
between  the  Merrimack  and  Piscataqua 


and  seaport,  Portsmouth. 

The  principal  towns  are  Portsmouth, 
Concord,   Dover,  Exeter  and  Amherst.

a  settlement  on  the  Delaware,  but  were 
driven  away  by  the  Swedes  and  Dutch. 
In  1655,  the  Dutch  of  New  York  con 
quered  the  Swedes  and  sent  them  all  back 
to  Europe.  In  1664,  the  English  took 
possession  of  the  country,  and  it  was 
granted  to  Lord  Berkley  and  Sir  George 
Carteret,  and  was  named  New  Jersey,  in 
compliment  to  the  latter,  who  had  been 
governor  of  the  Isle  of  Jersey.  The 
Dutch  afterwards  reconquered  the  whole 
country,  but  soon  restored  it  by  treaty. 
In  1676,  it  was  divided  into  East  and 
West  Jersey,  which  were  reunited  in 
1702.  In  1776  a  constitution  was  adopt 
ed.  N.  Jersey  was  ardently  attached  to 
the  principles  of  the  revolution,  and 
among  the  first  to  accept  the  new  consti 
tution  of  the  U.  States. 

The  S.  portion  of  the  state  is  level  and 
sandy,  rising  towards  the  N.  into  moun 
tainous  ridges.  There  are  many  rich 
valleys  and  sections  highly  productive  of 
wheat  and  corn,  which  are  the  staples. 
Iron,  copper  and  copperas  are  found  in 
various  parts.  An  elevated  range  of 
land  on  the  Hudson  r.  commences  above 
Hoboken,  and  extends  up  the  river  for 
20  or  30  m.  forming  a  high  perpendicular 
wall  of  stone,  called  the  Palisadoes.  The 
highest  point  is  about  500  feet.  The  cli 
mate  is  mild  and  healthy. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Hudson 
on  the  E.  and  the  Delaware  on  the  W. 
the  Raritan,  Passaic,  and  Hackensack. 
Newark  and  Amboy  are  the  principal 
bays. 

The  chief  towns  are  Newark,  New 
Brunswick,  Paterson,  Elizabethtown, 
Trenton,  the  state  capital,  Burlington, 
Bordentown,  and  Perth  Amboy. 

The  principal  manufactories  are  at 
Paterson,  Newark,  Trenton,  and  Belle 
ville. 

The  Legislature  consists  of  a  Council 
and  House  of  Assembly,  chosen  annu 
ally.  The  Council  is  composed  of  one 
member  from  each  county,  and  the  As 
sembly  of  three  from  each  county.  The 
Governor  is  elected  annually  by  the  legis 
lature.  His  salary  is  $2,000. 

The  College  of  New  Jersey,  at  Prince 
ton,  was  founded  in  1746 ;  contains  12 
instructors,  2,183  alumni,  240  students, 
and  11,000  volumes  in  the  two  libraries. 
Rutgers  College,  at  New  Brunswick,  was 
founded  in  1770;  has  6  instructors,  254 
alumni,  93  students,  and  6,500  volumes 
in  the  libraries.  The  Theological  Semina 
ry  of  the  Presbyterian  church, at  Princeton, 
was  founded  in  1813  ;  it  has  5  professors, 
130  students,  and  7,000  volumes  in  the 
library.  The  Seminary  of  the  Dutch 


Reformed  church,  at  New  Brunswick, 
was  founded  in  1784;  it  has  three  pro 
fessors,  and  24  students.  The  system 
for  the  regulation  of  common  schools  was 
modified  by  the  legislature  at  its  session 
in  1837-38,  but  it  is  still  considered  in 
efficient  in  several  particulars.

NE  W  Orleans,  city  and  capital  of  the 
state  of  La.  is  situated  on  the  N.  bank  of 
a  bend  in  the  Mississippi  r.  105  m.  above 
its  mouth,  and  90  in  a  direct  line.  It  was 
laid  out  in  1717,  and  named  after  the  Duke 
of  Orleans  of  France.  At  high  water 
the  ground  on  which  the  city  stands  is 
below  the  surface  of  the  river,  and  is  pro 
tected  from  inundation  by  a  bank  called 
the  levee.  The  city  and  suburbs  extend 
about  three  miles  along  the  river,  and  over 


NEW  2 

one-fourth  of  a  mile  back.  Owing  to  the 
spongy  nature  of  the  ground  there  are  no 
cellars.  The  streets  are  narrow,  and  the 
houses  are  built  chiefly  in  the  French  and 
Spanish  style.  Among  the  public  build 
ings  are  a  custom  house,  a  town  house, 
hospital,  U.  S.  mint,  cathedral,  market 
house,  a  court  house,  an  Ursuline  convent, 
and  several  churches  and  banks.  This 
city  is  the  grent  depot  of  the  vast  and 
growing  trade  of  the  Mississippi  r.  The 
great  region  of  the  Mississippi  Valley 
must  ever  continue  to  pour  in  its  resources 
to  augment  the  business  and  wealth  of 
the  place.  The  levee  is  constantly  crowd 
ed  with  ships  and  craft  of  all  kinds;  and 
during  the  cotton  season,  immense  quanti 
ties  of  bales  are  piled  up  in  the  streets. 
There  are  sometimes  1,500  flat  bottom 
boats  in  the  harbor  at  a  time.  Steam 
boats  are  constantly  arriving  and  depart 
ing,  and  50  or  60  may  often  be  seen  to 
gether.  Half  the  population  are  French 
and  Spanish.  The  city  is  subject  to  en 
demics  every  summer,  which  sweep  off 
many  strangers; — yet  the  population  has 
rapidly  increased.  In  1810,  it  contained 
17,242;  in  1820,  27,178;  in  1830,  46,082 
inhabitants.  New  Orleans  was  the  capi 
tal  of  the  colony  under  the  Spanish  until 
ceded  to  France  in  1803,  and  by  France 
it  was  given  up  to  the  United  States  in 
1803.  Distance  SW.  from  Washington,

Washington  ;  89  m.  NE.  from  Philadel 
phia;  and  207  m.  SW.  from  Boston. 
The  city,  as  laid  out,  embraces  the  whole 
of  Manhattan  Island.  Bounded  by  Hud 
son,  East,  and  Harlaem  rs.  and  Spuyten 
Duyvel  cr.  The  compact  built  parts  are 
confined  to  the  S.  point,  formed  by  the 
junction  of  East  and  Hudson  rs.  The 
first  houses  were  built  in  1621.  The  bay 
affords  one  of  the  most  beautiful  harbors 
in  the  world,  9  m.  long  by  4  broad,  with 
Long  Island  on  the  east,  Staten  Island 
on  the  south,  and  New  Jersey  on  the  west 
side,  having  an  outlet  to  the  ocean  be 
tween  Staten  and  Long  islands,  called 
the  Narrows.  The  city  is  well  protected 


by  forts  at  the  Narrows  and  on  Bedlows 
and  Governors  islands. 

The  city  was  first  settled  by  the  Dutch, 
in  1615,  and  called  New  Amsterdam.  It 
came  into  possession  of  the  English,  in 
1664,  who  called  it  New  York,  in  honor 
of  the  Duke  of  York.  The  streets  in  the 
lower  part  of  the  city  are  irregular,  and 
were  formerly  very  narrow ;  but  within  a 
few  years  past  great  improvements  have 
been  made,  at  immense  expense,  in  widen 
ing  and  straightening  them.  A  great 
portion  of  this  section  has  been  rebuilt, 
with  large  commodious  stores.  The  dis 
astrous  fire  of  Dec.  16,  1835,  which  de 
stroyed  property  to  the  amount  of  about 
$18,000,000,  laid  waste  a  large  district  of 
the  most  valuable  part  of  the  city,  which 
has  since  been  entirely  rebuilt  with  ele 
gant  substantial  fire-proof  stores,  with 
granite  fronts.  In  the  west  side  of  the 
town  the  streets  are  more  regular ;  and 
above  Houston-street,  they  are  regularly 
laid  out  east  and  west,  running,  north  of 
12th  street,  from  river  to  river,  up  to  155th 
street,  nearly  the  entire  extent  of  the  isl 
and.  These  are  intersected  with  wide 
and  beautiful  avenues  running  north  and 
south.  Broadway,  which  is  the  principal 
street,  is  80  feet  wide  and  about  3  miles

near  the  Park,  is  a  fine  building,  with  a 
spire  234  feet  high.  Trinity  Church  is 
one  of  the  oldest  in  the  city.  It  was  first 
built  in  1G96,  burned  in  1776,  and  rebuilt 
in  1778.  The  spire  is  198  feet  high. 
The  graveyard  attached  to  the  church 
contains,  according  to  authentic  records, 
160,000  bodies,  exclusive  of  those  buried 
there  during  the  revolutionary  war.  Holt's 
Hotel  occupies  the  corner  on  Fulton,  Pearl,

ported  and  educated.  The  Institution  of 
the  Blind  is  one  of  the  most  interesting 
among  the  benevolent  institutions.  It 
was  incorporated  in  1831.  According  to 
the  report  of  1838,  the  whole  number  of 
pupils  since  the  commencement  was  77; 
of  whom  64  remained.  The  pupils  are 
taught  music,  and  to  read  by  raised  let 
ters,  which  they  do  with  remarkable  fa 
cility.  The  are  instructed  also  in  the  va 
rious  branches  of  arithmetic,  geography, 
grammar,  &c.,  and  several  of  the  mechan 
ical  branches,  such  as  basket-making, 
carpet-weaving,  &c.  The  state  appropria 
ted  $12,000  towards  the  erection  of  a  new 
building,  on  condition  that  the  institution 
would  raise  $8,000  ;  which  has  been  done, 
and  the  building,  which  is  to  be  a  very 
elegant  structure,  is  partly  finished.  The 
Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  is  also 
a  highly  meritorious  cht'rity,  to  which  the

The  public  schools  are  justly  the  pride 
of  the  city.  They  are  17  in  number;  the 
buildings  are  large  and  convenient,  two 
stories  high,  with  a  basement.  There 
are  also  28  primary  schools,  two  African 
public  schools,  and  6  primary  African 
schools ;  the  whole  under  the  management 


poratcd  in   1831,  to  prevent  impositions  I  of  the  Public  School  Society,  composed 
and  errors  in  the  preparation  of  medicine 


— a  very  meritorious  institution. 

There  are  four  theatres,  an  opera  house, 
and  three  principal  public  gardens  for 
amusement — Niblo's,  Vauxhall,  and  Cas- 


of  some  of  the  most  respectable  and  be 
nevolent  individuals.  The  number  of 
scholars  is  about  14,500;  the  number 
taught  for  the  year  ending  May  1,  1837, 
was  17,932  scholars  between  the  ages  of

a  delightful  prospect  of  the  bay.  Wash 
ington  Square  is  another  public  walk, 
adorned  with  shade  trees.  St.  John's 
Park  is  not  open  to  the  public.  There 
are  several  other  squares,  but  none  are 
open  for  public  resort  except  the  Park. 

New  York  is  destined  to  continue,  as 
it  now  is,  the  commercial  metropolis  of 
the  Union.  From  its  central  position,  its 
proximity  to  the  sea,  and  favored  with  a 
harbor  that  can  be  entered  at  all  seasons, 
and  an  extensive  inland  trade  by  means 
of  its  rivers,  canals,  and  rail  roads,  its 
great  facilities  for  commerce  are  unrival 
led  in  this  country,  and  perhaps  in  the 
world.  The  amount  of  duties  paid  into 
this  port  for  several  years,  is  as  follows:

Previous  to  the  general  banking  law, 
passed  by  the  legislature  in  1838,  the 
banking  capital  of  the  city  amounted  to 
$16,61 1,200.  Under  that  law,  several 
banking  associations  have  been  establish 
ed  with  large  capitals,  including  a  branch 
of  the  Pennsylvania  Bank  of  the  United 
States. 

The  following  table  exhibits  the  valu 
ation  of  real  and  personal  estate,  and  of 
the  city  taxes,  for  several  periods : — 


actual  attendance  was  about  10,000;  t4ie 
board  of  trustees  are  between  80  and  90 
in  number,  divided  into  sections,  one  of 
which  is  attached  to  each  of  the  buildings. 
The  annual  receipts  from  the  Commis 
sioners  of  the  School  Fund,  are  from 
$85,000  to  $90,000.  Expenses  for  teachers 
and  monitors,  about  $50,000.  Other  ex 
penses,  including  building,  repairs,  fix 
tures,  fuel,  stationery,  &c.  $40,000.  All 
children  have  the  privilege  of  attending 
these  schools  free  of  charge,  not  as  charity 
or  free  schools,  but  as  the  common  right 
of  all.  The  teachers  are  of  the  highest 
character  for  moral  worth  and  mental 
qualification ;  and  all  the  branches  of 
English  education  are  taught. 

The  city  is  governed  by  a  mayor  and 
common  council,  consisting  of  a  board  of 
aldermen,  and  a  board  of  assistant  alder 
men.  Each  ward  elects  an  alderman  and 
an  assistant.  The  corporation  owns  a 
large  real  estate,  which  is  constantly  in 
creasing  in  value. 

Besides  the  splendid  lines  of  packets  to 
Europe,  there  is  now  a  regular  line  of 
steam  packets  just  established  between 
this  city  and  England,  the  average  pas 
sages  of  which  are  reduced  to  half  the  or 
dinary  time  of  the  regular  packet  ships  ; 
forming  a  new  and  important  era  in  steam 
navigation. 

The  city  at  present  is  poorly  supplied 
with  water.  The  principal  supply  is 
from  the  Manhattan  Works,  and  the 
wells.  The  corporation  have  erected 
reservoirs  in  13th  street,  and  laid  pipes 
through  the  principal  streets  for  the  supply

Dutch,  but  was  restored  to  the  English 
the  next  year,  by  treaty.  It  now  remain 
ed  a  British  colony  until  the  revolution  in 
1776.  During  the  wars  with  the  French, 
the  northern  parts  of  the  colony  were  the 
scenes  of  several  bloody  contests  with  the 
French  and  savages  of  Canada.  In  1790, 
Vermont,  which  had  before  formed  part 
of  N.  Y.  was  formed  into  a  separate  state. 
The  general  surface  of  the  state  is  ele

employ  of  the  Dutch  East  India  Compa 
ny  ;  who  in  1609,  sailed  150  m.  up  the

ments  were  made  by  the  Dutch  in  1612, 
at  Fort  Orange,  now  Albany,  and  Fort

with  the  natives  was  established  at  these

are  from  3,000  to  3,800  feet  above  the 
tide.  In  the  N.  part  of  the  state  is  an 
other  elevated  region  called  the  Peruvian 
mountains,  among  which  are  the  sources 
of  the  Hudson.  Their  highest  summit 
is  near  3,000  feet. 

The  climate  is  varied  by  the  extent  of 
surface  embraced  in  this  state.  Along 
the  Hudson  as  far  up  as  the  Highlands, 
and  in  the  neighborhood  of  N.  Y.  city, 
the  climate  partaking  of  the  sea  air,  is 
milder  than  in  the  interior,  the  winds 
from  the  ENE.  &  SE.  generally  bringing 
rain.  In  the  N.  parts  of  the  state,  above 
the  Highlands,  the  weather  is  more  se 
vere  in  winter,  and  snow  lays  longer. 
The  ice  in  the  Hudson  usually  breaks  up 
about  the  10th  or  15th  of  March.  The 
climate  in  the  middle  and  western  section, 
though  a  few  degrees  colder  than  in  the 
SE.  part,  is  considerably  less  so  than  in 
the  elevated  regions  in  the  N.  and  E.  parts 
of  the  state. 

The  soil  is  generally  diversified.  Along 
the  valley  of  the  Mohawk  it  is  extremely 
fertile,  and  productive  of  wheat.  Ip^i™

A  large  district  extending  from  Cayuga 
lake  W.  including  the  entire  valley  of 
Genesee  r.  is  celebrated  for  the  growth  of 
wheat.  Some  of  the  finest  flour  is  sent 
from  this  region  to  the  N.  Y.  market, 
where  it  always  commands  a  high  price. 
The  E.  part  of  L.  Island  contains  sandy 
plains ;  the  W.  part  is  a  better  soil,  and 
highly  cultivated.  The  principal  pro 
ductions  of  the  state  are  wheat  and  other 
grains,  beef,  pork,  pot  and  pearl  ashes, 
butter,  cheese,  lumber,  &c.  Gypsum  is 
abundant  in  the  W.  parts,  and  extensively 
used  as  a  manure.  Fine  marble  exists 
and  is  manufactured  at  Sing  Sing.  In 
the  N.  part  of  the  state  are  large  beds  of 
iron  ore.  Gneiss,  granite,  limestone,  and 
mica  slate  are  found  abundantly  in  the 
Highlands  and  many  other  parts  of  the 
state.  There  are  many  mineral  springs. 
Those  that  have  attained  most  celebrity 
are  in  the  co.  of  Saratoga,  known  as  the 
Saratoga  &  Ballston  Springs,  possessing 
medicinal  qualities.  There  are  also  the 
New  Lebanon  and  Clifton  Springs,  the 
former  near  the  Shaker  v.  the  other  near 
Farmington,  Ontario  co.  Among  the 
natural  curiosities  are  the  Niagara  Fails ; 
Genesee  Falls,  on  Genesee  r.  below  Ro 
chester,  about  90  feet  perpendicular; 
Trenton  Falls,  on  West  Canada  cr. ;  Co- 
hoes  Falls,  on  the  Mohawk,  near  the 
Hudson ;  Glens  Falls,  on  the  Hudson,  18 
m.  above  Saratoga;  Little  Falls,  on  the 
Mohawk;  Jessup's  Falls,  and  Hadley 


Falls,  on  the  Hudson ;  and  Claverack 
Falls,  on  a  stream  near  the  city  of  Hud 
son,  and  the  sublime  and  picturesque 
cascades  of  the  Catskill  mountain. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the.  Hudson, 
Mohawk,  Genesee,  Niagara,  St.  Law 
rence,  Black,  Oswegatchie,  Oswego,  Sa- 
ranac,  and  Tioga,  a  branch  of  the  Sus- 
quehannah. 

The  principal  lakes  are  Erie,  Ontario, 
and  Champlain,  which  border  on  the  state, 
lakes  George,  Oneida,  Cayuga,  Seneca, 
Crooked,  Canandaigua,  and  Skaneateles. 

The  principal  cities  and  towns  are 
New  York,  Albany,  Brooklyn,  Troy, 
Buffalo,  Rochester,  Utica,  Schenectady, 
Poughkeepsie,  Newburg,  Hudson,  Platts- 
burgh,  Catskill,  Geneva,  Syracuse,  Can

The  commerce  of  the  state  principally 
centres  at  N.  York  city,  which  is  the 
great  seaport  of  the  Union.  The  situa 
tion  of  the  state  is  admirably  adapted  for 
an  extensive  and  increasing  trade.  Its 
noble  river,  the  Hudson,  connected'  as  it 
is  with  lakes  Champlain  and  Erie,  by 
canals,  must  continually  pour  in  the  vast 
resources  not  only  of  the  interior  and  N. 
part  of  the  state,  but  of  the  great  and 
growing  states  of  the  west. 

The  following  table  will  best  exhibit 
the  general  statistics  of  the  state,  includ 
ing  the  number  of  manufactories  of  the 
various  kinds,  and  their  increase  or  de 
crease  in  10  years,  from  1825  to  1835.

The  state  of  New  York,  while  making 
such  rapid  advances  in  the  improvement 
of  her  physical  condition,  has  not  neglect 
ed  to  provide  liberally  the  means  of  edu 
cation.  And  nothing  is  now  needed  but 
a  corresponding  interest  on  the  part  of  the 
people,  in  behalf  of  their  colleges  and 
schools,  to  give  her  a  moral  and  mental 
elevation  corresponding  with  her  com 
manding  destiny.  The  following  is  a

one  academy  in  each  of  the  eight  Senate 
Districts,  for  the  education  of  common 
school  teachers.  The  number  of  students 
in  these  departments  was,  in  1835,  108 :

pense  of  $3,200,  or  $400  for  each  depart 
ment. 

The  number  of  School  Districts  in  the 
state,  reported  by  the  superintendent  in 
Jan.  '1838,  for  the  year  1836,  was  10,345, 
from  9,718  of  which  reports  were  receiv 
ed.  The  number  of  new  districts  formed 
during  the  year  was  138.  The  schools 
were  kept  an  average  period  of  seven 
months.  Whole  number  of  children  be 
tween  the  ages  of  5  and  16  years,  536,882. 
Whole  number  taught,  524,188.  Amount 
of  public  money  distributed  to  the  districts 
in  1837,  $342,811.  Amount  paid  for 
teachers'  wages  besides  public  money, 
$436,346.  Of  the  public  money  raised 
in  1836,  $119,332  was  received  from  the 
state  and  local  funds,  and  $216,562  was 
raised  by  tax  in  the  several  towns. 

A  new  school  law  was  passed  April 
17,  1838,  appropriating  an  additional  an 
nual  sum  of  $110,000  to  the  common 
schools  ;  also,  $55,000  annually  for  three 
years  towards  the  purchase  of  a  library 
in  each  district.  Each  school  is  required 
to  be  taught  at  least  four  months  by  an 
inspected  teacher. 

The  following  abstract  exhibits  the

NORTH  CAROLINA, 
one  of  the  United  States,  bounded  N.  by 
Virginia,  E.  by  the  Atlantic,  S.  by  South 
Carolina  and  Georgia,  and  W.  by  Ten 
nessee.  Its  extreme  length  from  E.  to  W. 
(not  including  Cape  Hatteras,)  is  480  m. 
Its  extreme  breadth,  N.  and  S.  185  m. 
Area  about  50,000  square  m. 

The  first  attempt  to  colonize  the  Caro- 
linas  was  made  by  the  French  in  the  reign 
of  Charles  IX.  from  whom  the  name  was 
derived,  which  was  defeated  by  the  Span 
iards.  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  visited  the 
country  in  1584,  and  in  the  following  year 
another  attempt  to  settle  it  was  made,  but 


NOR  2 

hp  traces  of  the  settlers  were  ever  after 
discovered,  having  been,  in  all  probabili 
ty,  murdered  by  the  Indians.  In  1640, 
several  settlements  were  made  by  a  num 
ber  of  persons  who  left  Virginia  on  ac 
count  of  religious  persecutions.  In  1059, 
a  small  colony  from  Massachusetts  estab 
lished  themselves  on  the  banks  of  Cape 
Fear  r.  and  left  the  country  in  1663.  At 
this  time  other  settlements  were  made,  and 
the  plan  of  government  afterwards  adopt 
ed  by  the  colony  embraced  the  scheme 
of  the  celebrated  John  Locke.  There 
was  an  hereditary  nobility,  and  the  chief 
magistrate  was  called  the  Palatine.  The 
plan  was  abandoned  as  impracticable  in 
1693.  In  1717,  the  colony  came  under 
the  royal  government,  as  the  other  colo 
nies  were,  and  remained  so  until  the  revo 
lution.  In  1729  it  was  separated  from  S. 
Carolina,  with  which  it  had  always  been 
united.  The  present  constitution  was 
adopted  in  1776,  and  amended  in  1835. 

The  surface  of  the  state  in  the  E.  sec 
tion  is  an  extensive  plain,  with  consider 
able  swamps,  and  generally  poor  land,  ex 
cept  on  the  margin  of  the  rivers,  which  is 
very  fertile.  In  the  middle  section  the 
land  is  more  hilly,  and  the  W.  limit  is 
marked  by  a  range  of  the  Appalachian 
system,  which  take  the  names  of  Yellow, 
Iron,  Smoky  and  Unaka  Mountains. 
The  Blue  Ridge  forms  a  parallel  range, 
from  15  to  35  m.  E.  The  soil  in  the  W. 
part  of  the  state  is  the  most  fertile,  and 
the  country  in  general  very  beautiful. 
The  climate  is  temperate  and  healthy.  In 
the  E.  parts  it  is  unhealthy  in  the  summer 
season,  being  subject  to  prevailing  bilious 
and  intermittent  fevers.  The  winters  are 
mild  and  agreeable. 

Immense  regions  of  the  country  are 
covered  with  pitch  pine,  affording  large 
quantities  of  tar  and  turpentine  for  ex 
port.  Indian  corn  and  other  small  grains 
are  raised  in  considerable  quantities. 
Cotton,  rice  and  tobacco  are  also  produc 
ed.  There  are  very  few  harbors  on  the 
coast,  and  much  of  the  trade  finds  its  way 
into  Virginia  and  South  Carolina.  Lum 
ber,  grain,  flour  and  provisions  are  arti 
cles  of  export. 

Iron  ore  abounds  in  many  parts  of  the 
state,  but  very  little  is  done  in  manufac 
turing  it.  The  gold  mines  have  attracted 
great  attention.  The  gold  region  embra 
ces  about  1,000  square  miles.  Part  of  the 
gold  is  obtained  by  mining,  and  part  by 
washing  the  sand  and  gravel  found  in  the 
gullies  and  beds  of  creeks.  In  1824,  this 
state  furnished  for  the  U.  S  mint,  gold  to 
the  value  of  $5,000;  in  1825,  $17,000; 
in  1829,  $134,000;  in  1832,  $458,000;

in  1834,  $380,000;  in  1835,  8263,500; 
in  1836,  $148,100:  total  amount  to  1836, 
$2,465,000 — besides  which,  large  quanti 
ties  have  been  exported  and  otherwise  dis 
posed  of.  Since  1833  the  quantity  has 
annually  decreased. 

There  are  a  number  of  cotton  manufac 
tories,  which  are  rapidly  increasing.  The 
first  in  the  state  %vas  established  in  1818, 
at  the  falls  of  Tar  r.  in  Edgecombe  co. 

The  principal  rivers  of  the  state  are  the 
Roanoke,  Chowan,  Cape  Fear,  Pamlico, 
Tar,  Neuse  and  Yadkin. 

The  chief  towns  are  Newbern,  Fay- 
etteville,  Wilmington,  and  Raleigh,  the 
seat  of  government. 

The  principal  sounds  and  bays  are 
Pamlico  Sound  and  Albemarle  Sound, 
and  Onslow  and  Raleigh  bays.  The 
prominent  capes  are  Fear,  Lookout  and 
Hatteras. 

The  Legislature  is  composed  of  a  Sen 
ate  of  50  members,  and  a  House  of  Com 
mons  of  120  representatives,  who  are 
chosen  for  two  years.  The  Legislature 
meets  biennially.  The  governor  is  also 
chosen  for  two  years,  and  cannot  hold  his 
office  more  than  four  years  out  of  any 
term  of  six  years.  His  salary  is  $2,000. 

There  is  a  literary  fund  for  the  support 
of  common  schools,  consisting  of  swamp 
lands,  estimated  at  1,500,000  acres,  valu 
ed  at  $1,000,000,  to  which  has  been  added 
from  the  U.  S.  surplus  fund,  $1,000,000, 
and  the  future  dividends  from  works  of 
internal  improvement. 

The  colleges  in  the  state  are,  the  Uni 
versity  of  North  Carolina,  at  Chapel  Hill, 
founded  in  1791,  containing  8  instructors, 
130  students,  and  5,000  volumes  in  the 
library.  Davidson  College,  at  Mecklen 
burg,  founded  in  1837.  Besides  these, 
there  are  the  Episcopal  School  at  Raleigh ; 
Manual  Labor  School  at  Fayetteville ; 
Manual  Labor  School  at  Wake  Forest, 
and  the  Female  Seminary  at  Salem. 

The  population  in  1790  was  393,950; 
in  1800,  478,103;  in  1810,  555,500;  in 
1820,  638,829;  in  1830,  737,987,  of  whom 
245,601  were  slaves.

OHIO  R.  from  which  the  state  is  nam 
ed,  is  formed  by  the  confluence  of  the  Al 
leghany  and  Monongahela  at  Pittsburg, 
in  the  W.  part  of  Pa.  After  a  course  of 
908  m.  it  flows  into  the  Mississippi.  It* 
;  breadth  varies  from  400  to  1,400  yards. 
j  Below  Cumberland  r.  its  average  width 
is  over  a  mile.  At  Cincinnati  it  is  800 
yards,  which  is  its  mean  breadth.  The 
elevation  of  the  Ohio  at  Pittsburg  is  678 
feet,  and  at  its  junction  with  the  Missis 
sippi  r.  at  low  water,  283 — having  a  fall 
of  395  feet  in  its  entire  length.  The  cur 
rent  of  the  river  is  gentle,  and  varies  from 
two  to  four  miles  an  hour.  The  only  ob 
struction  in  general  to  navigation  is  the 
rapids  at  Louisville,  where  there  is  a  ca 
nal  to  avoid  them.  The  river  is  naviga 
ble  for  large  steamboats  half  the  year 
through  its  entire  course.  Its  lowest  stage 
is  in  September,  and  in  March  it  is  at  its 
highest.  Its  depth  varies  at  the  different 
periods  about  fifty  feet,  and  sometimes 
rises  10  or  12  feet  in  a  single  night.  The 
Ohio  flows  through  a  fine,  rich  country, 
and  from  the  beauty  of  the  stream  was 
called  by  the  French  discoverers  "  la  belle 
riviere.

W.  by  Indiana.  It  is  about  220  m.  long 
by  220  broad,  contains  44,000  square  m. 
and  returns  1G,400,000  acres  for  taxation.

sex  and  Essex,  Mas.  who  established 
themselves  at  Marietta,  at  the  mouth  of 
Muskingum  r.  on  the  7th  of  April,  1788. 
The  next  year  another  settlement  was 
made  on  the  Ohio,  6  m.  above  the  site  of 
Cincinnati.  The  inhabitants  were  much 
exposed  to  hostilities  from  the  Indians  for 
a  number  of  years,  which  were  not  effec 
tually  stopped  until  they  were  subdued  by 
Gen.  Wayne  in  1795.  From  this  period 
the  settlement  and  prosperity  of  the  terri 
tory  have  been  unexampled.  In  1802,  it 
was  admitted  into  the  Union  as  an  inde 
pendent  state,  and  in  1830  it  was  the  fourth 
state  in  population  in  the  Union.  In 
1790,  the  population  was  3,000;  in  1800, 
45,365 ;  in  1810, 230,700 ;  in  1820, 581,434 ; 
in  1830,  935,872.  Of  this  last  number 
there  were  deaf  and  dumb,  42G;  blind, 
232  ;  free  colored  persons,  9,567. 

The  general  surface  of  the  state  is  re 
markably  level,  exhibiting  a  moderate 
elevation  of  table  land,  but  no  mountains 
nor  any  considerable  hills.  The  soil  is 
very  fertile,  and  the  greater  portion  of  the 
state  fit  for  cultivation.  Indian  corn  is 
raised  in  great  abundance,  and  may  be 
considered  the  staple.  Hemp,  flax  and 
tobacco  can  also  be  raised  in  considerable 
quantities.  Taken  as  a  whole,  there  is 
no  section  of  country  in  the  world  per 
haps  equally  productive.  Coal  and  iron 
nre  abundant  in  the  eastern  parts  of  the 
state.  Marble  is  found  in  many  places, 
and  salt  springs  are  numerous.  The  cli 
mate  is  generally  mild,  and  warmer  than 
other  parts  of  the  country  in  the  same 
latitude.  Except  in  the  neighborhood  of 
the  marshes  and  flats,  it  is  very  healthy.

The  state  has  a  considerable  fund  de 
voted  to  common  school  instruction.  An 
excellent  system  has  been  established,  and 
great  efforts  are  being  made  to  improve  it 
as  much  as  possible.  The  lands  set  apart 


for  the  school  fund  amount  to

OREGON*  Territory,  a  large  sec 
tion,  W.  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  ex 
tending  from  42°  to  54°  N.  lat.  and  to  the 
Pacific  Ocean  on  the  W.  containing  about 
300,000  square  m.  Besides  the  Rocky 
Mountains,  there  are  two  parallel  ridges  of 
mountains  and  several  high  peaks.  The 
Oregon  r.  and  its  tributaries  are  the  prin 
cipal  rs.  The  climate  is  mild  and  agree 
able.  The  tops  of  the  mountains  are  co 
vered  with  perpetual  snow.  Much  of  the 
country  is  composed  of  extensive  prairies. 
Pine  and  hemlock  abound  in  the  neigh 
borhood  of  the  sea  shore.  The  soil  in  the 
valleys  and  along  the  shores  of  the  riv 
ers,  is  very  fertile. 

The  principal  articles  of  trade  are  furs, 
seal-skins,  &c.  Astoria  is  the  principal 
settlement,  where  the  Americans  have  a 
trading  establishment.  The  country  was 
first  discovered  by  the  Spaniards.  In 
1805,  Lewis  and  Clark  descended  the  r. 
and  wintered  on  the  shores  of  the  Pacific. 
The  Indians  in  the  territory  are  estimated 
at  140.000.

PENNSYLVANIA,  one 
of  the  United  States,  bounded  N.  by  New 
York,  E.  by  New  Jersey,  S.  by  Delaware, 
Maryland  and  Virginia,  and  W.  by  Vir 
ginia  and  Ohio.  Greatest  length  E.  and 
W.  305  m. — breadth,  160  m.— containing 
about  46,500  square  m. 

The  territory  was  first  settled  by  some 
Swedes  in  1628,  which  was  afterwards 


from  all  disturbances  with  the 
which  marked  the  early  history  of  the 
other  colonies.  In  1718,  Penn  died  in 
England,  aged  74.  The  original  charter 
continued  until  after  the  revolution.  In 
1790,  a  constitution  was  established, 
which  continued  until  1838,  when  a  new 
constitution  was  formed. 

Most  of  the  central  part  of  the  state  is 
mountainous.  The  Alleghanies,  of  the 
Appalachian  chain,  extend  in  a  number 
of  ridges  in  aNE.  course — the  nearest  on 
the  E.  being  about  150  to  170  miles  from 
the  sea.  They  are  known  by  various 
names,  the  Kittatiny  or  Blue  Mountains, 
Tuscarora  Mountains,  Ragged  Moun 
tains,  Great  Warrior  Mountain,  Laurel 
Hill  and  the  Alleghany  Mountains,  which 
are  the  highest  elevations.  Most  of  these 
mountains  are  thickly  covered  with  wood. 
E.  and  W.  of  the  mountain  ranges,  the 
country  is  level  or  moderately  undulating, 
and  the  soil  fertile  and  productive  in  wheat 
and  all  kinds  of  grains  and  fruits. 

The  climate  E.  and  W.  of  the  moun 
tains  does  not  sensibly  differ  from  that  of 
other  sections  in  the  same  parallels  of 
latitude.  In  the  mountainous  regions, 
the  winters  are  colder,  and  the  snow  lays 
longer  and  deeper. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Delaware, 
Susquehannah,  Alleghany,  Monongahe- 
la,  Yioughiogeny,  K-iskiminetas,  Juniata, 
Schuylkill  and  Lehigh. 

The  most  important  towns  are  Phila 
delphia,  Pittsburg,  Lancaster,  Reading, 
Harrisburg,  the  capital,  Easton,  Bethie- 
hem,  Norristown,  Columbia,  Doylestown 
and  Germantown. 

Pennsylvania  is  a  great  manufacturing 
state.  The  principal  manu factories  are 
in  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburg  and  their 
neighborhoods.  The  most  extensive  are 
of  cotton,  wool,  iron,  glass  and  paper. 
Salt  is  manufactured  largely  from  springs 
in  the  W.  part  of  the  state. 

The  foreign  commerce  of  the  state  cen 
tres  nearly  altogether  at  Philadelphia. 
The  value  of  imports  is  from  $12,000,000 
to  $15,000,000  annually  ;  of  exports,  from

$4,000,000  to  $5,000,000;   the  tonnage 
about  100,000. 

Anthracite  coal  abounds  more  exten 
sively  in  this  state  than  any  other  in  the 
Union.  The  coal  region  lies  principally 
among  the  mountains  which  run  parallel 
to  the  Blue  Ridge,  between  that  ridge  and 
the  Susquehannah,  and  along  the  valleys 
of  the  Wyoming  and  Lackawanna.  The 
valley  of  the  anthracite  region  is  about 
60  miles  long,  and  5  to  6  broad.  The 
coal  beds  vary  in  thickness  from  3  feet  to 
26,  and  are  most  extensive  in  the  vicinity 
of  Mauch  Chunk,  on  the  Lehigh. 

In  the  W.  part  of  the  state,  bituminous 
coal  is  equally  abundant.  It  is  found 
along  the  Alleghany,  Monongahela  and 
Conemaugh  rs.  and  elsewhere.  In  the 
neighborhood  of  Pittsburg  it  is  very  plen 
tiful. 

A  committee  of  the  Pennsylvania  Le 
gislature,  in  1836,  estimated  the  improve 
ments  connected  with  the  anthracite  coal 
trade  to  be,  canals  and  rail  roads,  486 
miles,  $9,720,937  ;  colliers'  boats,  cars, 
&c.  $1,270,280;  capital  in  coal  lands, 
$4,900,000;  mining  capital  and  value  of 
towns,  $3,375,000:  total,  $19,166,217. 
The  bituminous  coal  lands  are  supposed 
to  comprehend  21,000  square  miles,  and 
the  anthracite  975  square  miles.  The 
number  of  tons  of  anthracite  coal  shipped 
from  the  Schuylkill,  Lehigh  and  Lacka 
wanna  mines,  from  1820  to  1835,  was 
2,498,024. 

In  the  bituminous  coal  region  are  also 
found  many  valuable  salt  springs,  which, 
by  boring,  produce  a  strong  solution. 

The  Legislature  is  composed  of  a  Sen 
ate  and  House  of  Representatives.  Sen 
ators  are  chosen  for  four  years,  and  the 
representatives  annually.  The  governor 
is  chosen  for  three  years,  and  has  a  salary 
of  $4,000. 

Among  the  institutions  of  learning  are 
the  following: — University  oi  Pennsyl 
vania,  at  Philadelphia  ;  Carlisle  College ; 
Jefferson  College,  atCanonsburg ;  Wash 
ington  College ;  Allesrhany  College,  at

Haddington  College ;  Marshall  College, 
at  Mercersburg ;  Medical  Department  in 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania;  Med 
ical  Department,  Jefferson  College,  Phila 
delphia.  Of  the  theological  seminaries, 
there  are — The  Seminary  of  the  Lutheran 
Church  of  the  U.  S.  at  Gettysburg ;  Ger 
man  Reformed,  at  York ;  Western  Theo 
logical  Seminary,  at  Alleghany ;  Theo 
logical  School,  at  Canonsburg ;  Theolo

The  system  of  common  schools  embra 
ces  about  3,400  district  schools,  3,500 
teachers,  and  150,000  scholars.  The 
whole  number  of  children  in  the  state  be 
tween  5  and  15  is  about  330,000.  About 
$200,000  annually  of  public  money  is  ap 
propriated  to  the  schools.  The  public 
schools  of  Philadelphia  are  not  includ 
ed  in  the  above.  The  state  has  a  peni

Internal  Improvements. — This  state  has 
undertaken  the  most  gigantic  system  of 
internal  improvement.  She  has  already 
upwards  of  600  miles  of  state  canals  and 
120  miles  of  rail  roads  in  operation,  which, 
with  those  in  course  of  construction,  will 
make,  when  completed,  by  the  state  and 
incorporated  companies,  1,192  miles  of 
canals,  and  726  miles  of  rail  roads — all 
undertaken  since  1826 ;  an  achievement 
that  would  reflect  honor  upon  the  enter- 
prize  of  any  nation  in  the  world. 

The  Pennsylvania  state  canals  and 
rail  roads  consist  of  the  following  divis 
ions  :  Columbia  Rail  Road,  from  Phila 
delphia  to  Columbia,  8U  miles ;  Canal — 
eastern  division,  Columbia  to  Hollidays- 
burg,  171? ;  Alleghany  Portage  Rail 
Road,  Hollidaysburg  to  Johnstown,  36f  ; 
Canal — western  division,  Johnstown  to 
Pittsburg,  105  :  total,  395  miles. 

The  Beaver  Canal  extends  from  Bea 
ver  to  New  Castle,  25  miles  long. 

The  Mahonning  and  Beaver  Canal  is 
to  extend  from  New  Castle,  Pa.  to  the 
Ohio  Canal  at  Akron,  O. 

The  Pittsburg  and  Erie  Canal,  of  which 
the  Beaver  Canal  is  a  section,  is  to  extend 
from  Pittsburg  to  Lake  Erie,  73i  miles. 

The  following  canals  have  been  con 
structed  by  incorporated  companies  : — 

Schuylkill,  108  miles  ;  cost  $2,500,176. 

Union  Canal,  80  miles,  and  navigable 
feeders,  24  miles — total,  104  miles ;  cost 
$2,000,000. 

Lehigh,  46|  m. ;  53  m.  cost  $1,558,000. 

Lackawaxen,  25  miles,  and  rail  road ; 
cost  $2,000,000.

PENN  YAN,  c.  t.  Yates  co.  N,  Y.  a 
flourishing  village,  situated  about  three- 
fourths  of  a  mile  below  the  foot  of  Crook 
ed  Lake,  on  the  outlet,  16  m.  SSW.  of 
Geneva,  22  m.  SE.  of  Canandaigua,  30 
m.  N.  of  Bath,  185  m.  W.  of  Albany, 
and  314  m.  N.  of  Washington  City. 
Lying  in  a  valley,  on  a  fine  plat  of  ground 
gently  descending  to  the  outlet,  the  ap 
proach  to  the  village  on  every  side  is  very 
beautiful.  From  the  road  on  the  E.  par 
ticularly,  the  prospect  is  exceedingly  pic 
turesque — extending  beyond  the  v.  to  the 
waters  of  the  lake,  with  the  promontory 
of  Bluff  Point  rising  on  the  W.  and  in 
the  still  further  distance  the  highlands  of 
Steuben.  The  singular  name  of  the  v. 
originated  in  the  fact  that  its  founders 
were  a  Pennsylvanian  and  a  Yankee— 


the  first  syllable  of  each  name  being  mu 
ted.  There  were  then  only  two  or  three 
houses  and  a  post  office.  The  first  post 
master  was  Abraham  Wagener,  Esq.  who 
was  the  original  founder,  and  the  Penn 
sylvanian  above  mentioned. 

The  village  contains  four  churches — a 
Presbyterian,  Methodist,  Baptist  and 
Episcopalian — a  new  substantial  court 
house,  with  a  portico  and  four  doric  col 
umns,  a  jail,  a  bank,  with  a  capital  of 
$100,000,  an  academy  and  several  select 
schools,  two  grist  and  two  saw  mills,  two 
printing  offices,  and  two  weekly  papers. 

The  situation  of  Penn  Yan,  in  the  cen 
tre  of  a  beautiful  agricultural  county, 
with  no  other  town  in  the  vicinity  to  share 
its  trade,  ensures  it  a  permanent  and  in 
creasing  prosperity.  The  outlet  of  the 
lake,  through  its  entire  course  of  7  miles 
into  Seneca  Lake,  affords  a  first  rate  wa 
ter  power,  having  a  descent  of  269  feet, 
which  is  used  for  a  large  number  of  grist, 
saw  and  fulling  mills.  The  Crooked  Lake 
Canal,  8m.  long,  is  constructed  along  the 
outlet,  and  affords  a  communication-  from 
the  v.  through  Seneca  Lake  and  the  Cayu- 
ga  &  Seneca  Canal,  with  the  Erie  Canal. 
Pop.  in  1838,  about  1,500.

Montgomery  and  Bucks  cos.  and  Dela 
ware  r.  containing  an  area  of  about  155 
square  m.  Besides  the  city  of  Philadel 
phia,  the  county  contains  several  flourish 
ing  towns  and  settlements,  viz:  German- 
town,  Frankfort,  Manayunk,  Holmes- 
burg,  Bustletown,  Hamilton  &  Mantua 
villages.  The  S.  part  of  the  co.  is  level, 
the  N.  part  undulating  and  broken.  Pop.

PHILADELPHIA  City,  Philadelphia 
co.  Pa.  93  m.  NE.  from  Baltimore;  89 
SW.  from  New  York;  296  SW.  from 
Boston;  98  E.  from  Harrisburg,  and  136 
m.  NE.  from  Washington  City.  N.  lat. 
39°  56'  51".  W.  Ion.  75°  10'  05"  from 
Greenwich.  The  city  is  handsomely  laid 
out  on  the  W.  bank  of  Delaware  r.  ex 
tending  2  m.  to  the  Schulykill,  about  3  m. 
along  the  Delaware,  and  about  5m.  above 
the  confluence  of  those  rivers. 

Philadelphia  was  founded  by  William 
Penn,  in  1682,  and  chartered  in  1701. 
The  streets  of  the  city  proper,  (excluding 
the  Liberties,)  are  laid  out  at  right  angles, 
generally  about  50  feet  wide — and  kept 
remarkably  clean.  The  houses  are  most 
ly  of  brick,  of  a  neat,  and  many  of  them 
an  elegant  appearance.  Among  the  pub 
lic  buildings  are  the  United  States  Bank, 


U.  S.  Mint,  State  House,  Girard  Bank, 
Bank  of  Pennsylvania,  and  Pennsylva 
nia  Hospital.  In,  the  vicinity  are  Girard's 
College,  the  Alms  House,  and  Naval  Asy 
lum.  The  U.  S.  Bank  is  a  beautiful  mar 
ble  structure,  with  8  doric  columns  in  front 
and  8  in  the  rear — built  after  the  model  of 
the  Parthenon.  The  Girard  College  is  a 
most  magnificent  building,  of  marble,  sup 
ported  on  all  sides  by  Corinthian  pillars. 
Connected  with  it  are  two  chaste  and 
commodious  buildings,  also  of  marble. 
The  Mint,  the  Exchange,  Pennsylvania 
Bank,  Girard  Bank,  and  Masonic  Hall, 
are  also  beautiful  buildings.  Religious, 
benevolent,  and  literary  institutions  are 
numerous.  There  are  upwards  of  100 
houses  for  public  worship.  Among  the 
charitable  and  benevolent  institutions  are 
the  Asylums  for  orphans,  deaf  and  dumb, 
widows  and  lunatics,  Humane  Society, 
and  several  Dispensaries.  Among  the 
literary  institutions  are  the  University, 
Philosophical  Society,  Athseneum,  Frank 
lin  Institute,  Academy  of  Natural  Science, 
Academy  of  Fine  Arts,  Medical  Society, 
College  of  Pharmacy,  College  of  Physi 
cians,  &c.  In  the  State  House,  which  is 
now  occupied  by  the  Courts,  is  the  Hall 
in  which  Congress  sat  when  the  Declara 
tion  of  Independence  was  adopted.  The 
Arcade,  a  beautiful  building,  contains  the 
Philadelphia  Museum,  long  known  as 
Peale's  Museum.  The  Market  Houses 
in  Market  street,  reach  from  Front  to 
Eighth  streets.  There  are  several  other 
markets  in  different  parts  of  the  town. 
They  are  all  kept  clean,  and  are  well  sup 
plied  with  all  kinds  of  farming  produce. 
The  public  squares  are  beautifully  adorn 
ed  with  shade  trees. 

One  of  the  greatest  undertakings  in 
Philadelphia  is  the  water  works,  on  the 
Schulykill,  at  Fair  Mount.  A  dam  is 
thrown  across  the  river,  which  affords 
power  sufficient  for  the  machinery  which 
forces  the  water  into  large  basins  on  the 
top  of  the  Mount,  from  which  the  city  is 
supplied  by  pipes  laid  in  every  street, 
extending  over  60  miles  in  length.  The 
entire  cost,  including  the  former  works, 
is  about  $1:500,000.  The  expense  of  the 
works  is  only  about  $4  a  day. 

Philadelphia  is  a  very  extensive  manu 
facturing  city.  All  the  various  branches 
of  mechanic  industry  are  carried  on  with 
great  skill  and  perfection.  Although  en 
joying  an  extensive  commerce,  its  inland 
position  is  not  so  favorable  in  this  respect 
as  that  of  New  York  or  Boston.  For  a 
considerable  part  of  the  winter  the  Dela 
ware  is  closed  with  ice. 

Philadelphia  is  distinguished   for  its 


PHI

PHI 


seminaries  of  education  and  the  literary 
spirit  of  its  inhabitants.  Besides  the  pub 
lic  schools,  which  are  the  pride  of  the  city, 
private  schools  are  numerous  and  of  the 
highest  character.  The  Society  of  Friends, 
who  form  a  large  and  highly  respectable 
class  of  the  inhabitants,  are  noted  for  their 
attention  to  their  schools  and  institutions 
of  learning  and  science.  Their  children 
are  educated  particularly  in  the  solid  and 
useful  branches.  The  various  benevolent 
operations  also  owe  much  of  their  active 
usefulness  and  energy  to  members  of  this 
society.  In  the  Philadelphia  public  and 
primary  schools  there  are  annually  taught 
about  12,000  scholars. 

The  Philadelphia  Library,  founded  by 
Dr.  Franklin,  contains  45,000  volumes. 
The  Philadelphia  Society  Library  con 
tains  10,000  volumes.  There  are  several 
other  very  respectable  libraries,  and  vari 
ous  literary  institutions  for  mutual  im 
provement,  which  have  a  favorable  influ 
ence  on  the  general  character  of  its  society.

risburg,  223  NW.  from  Washington,  297 
W.  by  N.  from  Philadelphia.  This  city 
is  second  only  to  Philadelphia  in  the  state, 
and  derives  its  importance  principally 
from  its  manufactures,  which  are  various 
and  extensive,  particularly  in  iron,  glass, 
paper,  cotton  and  wool.  The  country 
around  abounds  in  inexhaustible  quanti 
ties  of  bituminous  coal.  The  large  use 
made  of  this  fuel  gives  the  buildings  a 
dark  and  smoky  appearance,  similar  to 
the  large  manufacturing  towns  of  Eng 
land.  The  city  is  very  favorably  situa 
ted  for  trade  and  commerce.  Numerous 
steamboats  are  annually  built  here  for  the 
western  waters.  The  Pennsylvania  state 
canals  and  rail  roads  centre  here,  and  add 
greatly  to  the  trade  and  wealth  of  the 
place.  There  is  a  fine  bridge  over  the 
Alleghany,  and  another  over  the  Monon- 
gahela,  connecting  the  suburbs  with  the 
city.  There  are  16  churches,  the  Western 
University,  a  theological  seminary  of  the 
Associate  Reformed  Church,  an  exchange, 
a  museum,  a  high  school,  and  a  number 
of  respectable  private  schools.  The  in 
habitants  are  temperate,  industrious  and 
enterprising.  The  hills  and  country 
round  in  the  summer  season  wear  a  fertile 
and  luxuriant  appearance.  Pop.  1826,

€ence  Libraries.  Providence  is  a  place  of 
considerable  commercial  enterprise,  and 
has  extensive  manufactories  of  cotton, 
iron  and  machinery.  The  town  was 
first  settled  by  Roger  Williams,  who  was 
forced  to  leave  the  Plymouth  colony,  par 
ticularly  on  account  of  his  declaration  in 
favor  of  entire  and  unrestricted  religious 
freedom  among  all  sects.  He  commenced 
the  settlement  near  the  mouth  of  the  river 
Mooshasuck,  giving  it,  in  acknowledg 
ment  of  the  Divine  protection,  the  name 
of  Providence.  Pop.  1825, 15,941 ;  1830,

lake. 

RED  R.  one  of  the  principal  tributaries 
of  the  Mississippi,  rises  at  the  base  of  the 
Rocky  Mountains,  near  Santa  Fe.  The 


False  Washita  and  Blue  rs.  are  the  main 
branches  for  near  400  m.  It  forms  the 
boundary  between  the  territory  of  the  U. 
States  and  Texas,  from  17°  45'  to  23°  W. 
from  Washington.  Entering  the  state  of 
Ark.  it  flows  S.  into  La.  and  in  a  south 
easterly  direction,  until  it  enters  the  Mis 
sissippi  r.  in  lat.  31°  N.  Much  of  its  course 
is  through  rich  and  beautiful  prairies  of 
red  soil,  covered  with  grass,  and  vines  of 
delicious  grapes.  About  100  m.  above 
Natchitoches,  commences  the  Raft — a 
broad  swampy  expansion  of  20  or  30  m. 
in  width.  The  r.  here  dividing  into  nu 
merous  shallows,  becomes  covered  and 
obstructed  with  the  masses  of  drift  wood 
borne  from  the  upper  streams.  Boats 
sometimes  pass  through  these  obstruc 
tions,  and  are  often  obliged  to  follow  a 
stream  into  a  distant  lake,  and  pass  into 
the  r.  below  the  Raft  through  the  outlet. 
The  r.  is  thus  impeded  for  about  60  or  70 
m.  But  for  this,  steamboats  could  ascend 
to  the  delightful  region  of  country  above 
it.  The  valley  of  the  r.  for  a  great  dis 
tance  above  its  mouth,  is  from  6  to  18  m. 
wide,  and  of  superior  fertility.  Cotton 
is  the  staple.  The  whole  length  of  this 
noble  r.  is  estimated  at  2,500  m.

RHODE  ISLAND,  one  of 
the  United  States,  bounded  N.  and  E.  by 
Massachusetts,  S.  by  the  Atlantic,  and 
W.  by  Connecticut.  Mean  length  from 
N.  to  S.  about  42  miles;  mean  breadth, 
about  29  miles  ;  area  1,225  square  m.  It 
is  the  smallest  state  in  the  Union. 

The  surface  of  the  country  is  generally 
level,  except  in  the  NW.  part,  which  is 
hilly  and  broken.  The  soil  is  best  adapt 
ed  to  grazing;  but  the  island  of  Rhode 
Island  is  fertile,  and  productive  in  all 
kinds  of  grain.  The  rivers  and  bays  af 
ford  a  great  variety  of  excellent  fish.  Iron 
abounds  in  considerable  quantities.  Cop 
per  is  also  found.  The  principal  streams 
are  the  Providence,  Pawtucket  and  Paw- 
tuxet  rs.  Narraganset  Bay  extends  from 
S.  to  N.  over  30  miles  into  the  state,  and 
contains  a  number  of  islands,  among 
which  are  Rhode  Island,  Conanicut, 
Prudence,  Patience,  and  Hope  islands. 
Block  Island  lies  10  m.  S.  of  the  coast,  in 
the  ocean.  The  climate  is  mild  and  salu 
brious. 

The  principal  towns  are  Providence, 
Newport,  Bristol,  Warwick,  and  Paw- 
tucket. 

The  principal  commercial  and  manu 
facturing  interests  centre  in  Providence 
and  the  neighborhood.  There  are  large 
manufactures  of  cotton,  woollen,  &c.  at 
Providence,  Pawtucket,  Warwick,  and 
Slatersville. 

The  General  Assembly  meets  usually 
four  times  a  year,  at  Providence,  New 
port,  East  Greenwich,  and  South  Kings 
ton.  Rhode  Island  has  no  written  con 
stitution,  but  retains  the  forms  prescribed 
by  the  charter  originally  granted  by 
Charles  II.  in  1663. 

There  are  about  650  common  schools 
in  the  state,  and  26,000  children  of  a  suit 
able  age  for  instruction.  The  legislature 
appropriates  annually  $10,000  for  the  sup 
port  of  the  schools ;  and  this  amount  is 
increased  by  taxes  laid  in  the  towns. 
Brown  University  is  the  only  college  in 
the  state.  It  was  founded  in  1764  at 
Warren,  and  removed  to  Providence  in 
1770. 

The  principal  religious  denominations 
are  Baptists,  Methodists,  and  Congrega- 
tionalists. 

Rhode  Island  was  first  settled  at  Provi-

•who  was  obliged  to  leave  the  colony  of 
Plymouth  on  account  of  his  religious 
opinions.  His  followers  soon  increased, 
and  a  patent  for  the  territory  and  permis

and  neat  cattle.  The  other  parts  are  in 
a  high  state  of  cultivation.  It  contains 
the  townships  of  Newport,  Middletown, 
and  Portsmouth.

ROCHESTER,  city,  Monroe  co.  N. 
Y.  situated  on  both  sides  of  Genesee  r.  7 
m.  S.  of  Lake  Ontario,  73  E.  of  Buffalo, 
219  W.  of  Albany,  and  361  N.  of  Wash 
ington  City.  The  public  buildings  are  a 
court  house,  fourteen  churches,  an  arcade, 
two  market  houses,  three  banks,  and  six 
fine  hotels.  The  arcade  is  100  feet  front, 
135  deep,  and  six  stories  high.  The  1st 
Presbyterian  and  St.  Paul's  (Episcopal) 
churches  are  fine  buildings.  There  are 
three  bridges  across  the  river,  and  a  new 
aqueduct  is  now  being  erected  for  the  Erie 
Canal. 

Rochester  owes  its  rise  and  greatness 
to  the  vast  water  power  supplied  by  the 
Genesee  r.  Within  the  city  limits  the 
fall  of  the  river  is  268  feet.  There  are  22 
arge  flouring  mills  with  100  run  of  stones, 
averaging  500,000  barrels  of  flour  a  year. 
Tuere  are  also  a  number  of  manufacto 
ries  and  saw  mills.  Besides  a  large  and 
increasing  commerce  by  Lake  Ontario, 
its  internal  trade  through  the  Erie  Canal 
is  very  extensive.  Several  of  the  lines  of 
canal  boats  are  owned  here.  In  a  few 
years,  Rochester  will  also  be  connected 
with  Albany  and  Buffalo  by  rail  roads, 
which  are  now  in  a  rapid  course  of  con 
struction.  No  city  west  of  New  York 
enjoys  more  of  the  substantial  advantages 
of  prosperity.  Carthage,  on  the  Genesee 
r.  2  m.  below  Rochester,  ard  within  its 
limits,  is  the  port  at  which  vessels  and 
steamboats  arrive.  A  railroad  extends 


from  Rochester  to  Carthage,  and  it  is  pro- 

Eosedto  continue  it  to  Port  Genesee  on  the 
ike. 

There  are  several  literary  institutions, 
and  a  large  number  of  respectable  schools ; 
two  Institutes  for  the  promotion  of  edu 
cation,  and  the  Franklin  Institute  and 
Athseneum.  There  are  7  printing  offices 
and  six  newspapers,  two  of  which  are 
daily. 

Rochester  was  founded  in  1812,  by 
Nathaniel  Rochester,  Wm.  Fitzhugh,  and 
Charles  Carroll  of  Maryland,  from  the 
first  of  whom  it  took  its  name.  It  wa» 
incorporated  as  a  village  in  1817,  and  as 
a  city  28th  April,  1834.  It  includes  an 
area  of  4,324  acres.  Pop.  in  1820,  1,502^

ROCKY  Mountains,  that  part  of  the 
Chippewayan  chain  which  lies  in  the  west 
ern  possessions  of  the  U.  States,  dividing 
the  streams  which  flow  into  the  Pacific, 
from  those  which  flow  towards  the  Atlan 
tic.  Their  extent,  height,  and  breadth, 
are  much  greater  than  those  of  the  Alle- 
ghanies.  In  lat.  47°  they  are  covered 
•with  snow  in  July.  Frequent  explosions 
and  a  loud  rumbling  noise  are  heard  by 
trappers  who  visit  them,  supposed  to  be 
volcanic.  Their  appearance  is  dark, 
steril,  and  rugged.  Some  of  the  peaks 
are  12  to  18,000  feet  high.  Lewis  and 
Clarke  suffered  greatly  in  crossing  these 
mountains.  On  their  return,  in  May,  the 
snow  was  10  feet  deep.  Captain  Pike,  in 
attempting  to  explore  the  southern  parts 
•was  completely  bewildered  in  the  snows 
and  precipices,  and  lost  a  number  of  his 
party.  Their  geological  structure,  as  far 
as  known,  appears  to  be  granite.

town  in  New  England  except  Plymouth, 
being  settled  in  1628.  It  is  situated  on  a 
peninsula  formed  by  two  inlets  from  the 
sea,  over  one  of  which  is  a  bridge  over 
1,500  feet  long,  which  connects  Salem  with 
Beverly.  Its  commerce  is  chiefly  witli 
the  East  Indies,  and  a  great  amount  of 
capital  is  invested  in  it.  The  harbor  is 
good,  and  vessels  drawing  12  feet  water 
can  be  admitted  to  the  town,  and  of  great 
er  depth  a  short  distance  below.  The 
houses  are  generally  neat  and  in  good 
taste,  and  some  of  them  elegant.  Most 
of  those  recently  erected  are  of  brick. 
There  are  16  churches  of  the  various  de 
nominations,  eight  banks,  several  insur 
ance  companies,  a  court  house,  jail,  alms 
house,  an  East  India  Museum,  a  lyceum. 
and  a  market  house.  There  are  two  libra 
ries,  containing  about  10,000  volumes, 
and  three  semi- weekly  and  two  weekly  pa 
pers.  There  are  a  large  number  of  very 
respectable  schools,  and  no  people  in  the 
United  States  pay  more  attention  to  the 
education  of  their  children.  The  East 
India  Museum  was  established  by  a  socie 
ty,  incorporated  in  1801,  of  persons  that 
had  sailed  round  Cape  Horn  or  the  Cape 
of  Good  Hope.  One  of  their  objects  was 
to  promote  a  knowledge  of  trade  and  navi 
gation  to  the  East  Indies.

and  back  daily,  for  the  accommodation  of 
passengers  and  freight  boats.  It  receives 
the  waters  of  Crooked  Lake  at  Dresden, 
and  discharges  by  Seneca  r.  along  which 
is  a  canal  which  unites  with  the  Erie  Ca 
nal  at  Montezuma.  The  lake  is  447  feet 
above  tide  water.

SOUTH  C  AROLI1CTA,  one 
of  the  United  States,  bounded  N.  by 
North  Carolina,  SE.  by  the  Atlantic,  and 
SW.  and  W.  by  Georgia.  It  is  200  m. 
long  by  125  m.  broad,  containing  about 
30.000  square  m. 

The  state  was  first  settled  in  1670,  at 


Port  Royal ;  and  Charleston  was  perma 
nently  settled  in  1680.  A  grant  was  mad« 
as  early  as  1662,  by  Charles  II.  to  Lord 
Clarendon  and  seven  others,  of  the  terri 
tory  between  N.  lat.  31°  and  36°  307. 
The  proprietary  government  was  very 
complex  and  difficult,  which  was  increas 
ed  by  the  adoption  of  Mr.  Locke's  scheme. 
In  1719,  the  two  Carolinas  were  separa 
ted,  and  organized  under  the  royal  gov 
ernment.  In  1695,  Governor  Smith  in 
troduced  the  cultivation  of  rice,  and  cotton 
followed  soon  after — two  very  important 
events  in  the  history  of  the  state.  South 
Carolina  suffered  mv>ch  in  contests  with 
the  Indians,  and  also  in  the  revolution,  in- 
which  she  became  distinguished. 

The  surface  of  the  country  along  the 
coast,  and  extending  100  miles  into  the 
interior,  is  a  level  plain.  W.  of  this,  the 
surface  rises  into  ranges  of  little  sand 
hills,  resembling  the  waves  of  the  ocean, 
which  extend  50  or  60  miles.  Beyond 
this,  the  country  exhibits  a  fine  belt  of 
rich  and  well  cultivated  soil  called  the 
Ridge,  extending  from  the  Savannah  to 
Broad  r. ;  and  all  W.  and  NW.  is  a  beau 
tiful  luxuriant  country,  resembling  the 
finest  sections  of  the  northern  states.  The 
western  limit  of  the  state  is  mountainous. 

The  soil  of  South  Carolina  is  divided 
into  six  classes  : — 1.  The  tide  swamp ;  2. 
Inland  swamp ;  3.  High  river  swampf 
or  low  grounds  ;  4.  Salt  marsh ;  5.  Oak 
and  hickory  highland;  6.  Pine  barren. 
The  first  and  second  classes  are  particu 
larly  adapted  to  rice  and  hemp  ;  the  third 
to  corn,  hemp  and  indigo ;  the  fifth  is 
very  fertile,  and  adapted  to  the  cultivation 
of  corn,  indigo  and  cotton.  The  pine 
barrens  are  not  much  cultivated.  Cotton 
and  rice  are  the  great  staple  commodities, 
large  quantities  of  which  are  annually 
exported.  Very  little  cotton  was  raised 
in  the  state  previous  to  1795. 

The  winters  are  mild,  and  the  seasons 
of  vegetation  commence  as  early  as  Janu 
ary  and  February,  and  continue  till  Octo 
ber  or  November.  Snow  often  covers  the 
mountains,  but  is  seldom  seen  in  the 
plains.  For  seven  years  in  Charleston, 
the  thermometer  was  not  known  to  rise 
above  93°,  or  to  fall  below  17°.  In  the- 
low  country  the  inhabitants  are  much  sub 
ject  to  fevers  in  the  summer  season ;  but 
in  the  more  elevated  regions,  the  air  is  as 
salubrious  as  in  any  part  of  the  United 
j  States.  The  characteristics  of  the  inhabi 
tants  of  South  Carolina  are  public  spirit, 
hospitality  and  benevolence. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Great  Pe- 
dee,  Santce,  Savannah,  Edisto,  Congaree 
and  Wateree.

been  undertaken ;  charters  have  been  pro 
cured  from  the  several  states,  surveys 
made,  and  a  considerable  portion  of  the 
subscriptions  paid  in.  The  distance  in  a 
straight  line  between  Charleston  and  Cin

TENNESSEE  R.  an  important  tribu

two  main  branches,  Holston  and  Clinch 
rs.  in  Tennessee,  which  rise  in  the  AHe- 
ghany  Mountains  in  the  S  W.  part  of  Va. 
It  thence  flows  S.  into  Alabama,  crosses 
the  N.  part  of  that  state,  and  again  enters 


Tennessee ;  crossing  the  state  N.  it  enters 
Kentucky,  and  falls  into  the  Ohio  r.  57 
m.  above  its  mouth,  and  13  m.  below  the 
mouth  of  Cumberland  r.  Its  entire  length 
is  about  1,200  m. ;  for  near  1,000  m.  if  is 
navigable,  having  but  few  obstructions. 
Its  principal  head  branches  are  Clinch, 
Holston,  French  Broad,  Nolachucky, 
Tellico  and  Richland  rs.  It  flows  through 
a  country  the  greater  part  of  which  is  re 
markable  for  its  fertility. 

TEWWESSEE,  one  of  the  U. 
States,  bounded  N.  by  Kentucky  and 
Virginia,  E.  by  North  Carolina,  S.  by 
Georgia,  Alabama  and  Mississippi,  and 
W.  by  Arkansas  and  Missouri.  It  is 
430  m.  long  by  104  broad,  containing 
40,000  square  m. 

The  earliest  permanent  settlement  was 
made  in  1757,  by  the  erection  of  Fort 
Loudon.  Between  1765  and  1770,  settle 
ments  were  made  on  the  Holston  r.  by 
inhabitants  from  Virginia  and  N.  Caro 
lina,  which  were  much  harassed  by  In 
dian  warfare.  The  territory  continued  to 
form  a  part  of  North  Carolina  until  1790, 
when  it  was  organized  into  a  separate 
territorial  government,  which  continued 
until  1796,  when  a  state  constitution  was 
formed ;  and  on  the  1st  June  of  the  same 
year,  Tennessee  was  admitted  into  the 
Union  as  an  independent  state. 

The  state  is  divided  into  East  and  West 
Tennessee  by  the  Cumberland  Mountains, 
which  extend  in  a  NE.  and  SW.  direc 
tion.  The  E.  part  is  hilly,  and  rises  to 
the  chain  of  mountains  which  form  the 
eastern  boundary  of  the  state.  These  are 
known  by  the  names  of  Stone,  Unaka, 
Bald,  and  Iron  or  Smoky  Mountains. 
The  middle  and  western  parts  of  the  state 
are  level  and  undulating.  The  soil  is  ex 
ceedingly  various.  The  valleys  in  the 
eastern  section  are  very  fertile,  containing 
large  proportions  of  lime.  In  the  middle, 
much  of  the  land  is  of  an  indifferent 
quality.  In  the  west  it  is  rich  and  pro 
ductive. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Tennessee, 
Cumberland,  Clinch,  Holston,  Forked 
Deer,  Big  Hatchee,  Obion  and  French 
Broad. 

The  climate  is  generally  healthy.  The 
winters  are  mild,  and  the  summers  are 
pleasant.  f 

Cotton  is  the  staple  production.  Wheat, 
corn,  rye  and  barley  are  also  raised. 
There  are  no  extensive  manufactories  j 
but  iron,  cotton  and  hemp  have  been  man 
ufactured  to  a  considerable  extent. 

Some  of  the  most  remarkable  features  in 
the  state,  are  the  bold  and  picturesque 
1  scenery  of  the  mountains,  with  their  lofty^

precipitous  sides ;  the  numerous  cascades 
falling  from  200  to  400  feet ;  and  caves  of 
such  immense  depths  and  extent  that  some 
of  them  have  never  been  fathomed  or  ex 
plored.  One  of  these  caves  was  descend 
ed  400  feet  to  the  bottom,  which  was  of 
smooth  limestone,  where  was  found  a 
stream  of  water  sufficient  to  turn  a  mill. 
Some  of  the  caves  have  been  explored  10 
or  12  miles.  "  On  some  spurs  of  the  Cum 
berland  Mountains,"  says  Mr.  Flint,  "  are 
marked  in  solid  limestone,  the  footsteps 
of  men,  horses,  and  other  animals,  as  fresh 
as  if  recently  made,  and  as  distinct  as  if 
impressed  upon  clay-mortar."  Near  the 
S.  boundary  are  found  trees  in  an  entire  | 
state  of  petrifaction,  one  of  which  is  a' 
cypress  four  feet  in  diameter.  Bones  are 
found,  which  indicate  an  animal  20  feet 
high.  Walls  of  faced  stone  exist  in  vari 
ous  places,  and  other  works  of  a  people  j 
now  unknown.  On  some  of  the  highest 
rocks  are  paintings,  in  good  preservation, ' 
the  colors  as  fresh  as  if  recently  put  on. 
The  foot-prints  of  animals  and  human 
beings  are  imbedded  in  the  limestone  rock, 
and  what  is  remarkable,  the  human  feet 
have  uniformly  six  toes.  One  of  these 
tracks  is  sixteen  inches  long.  No  satis 
factory  explanation  has  ever  been  made 
of  these  remarkable  appearances. 

The  Legislature  consists  of  a  Senate 
of  25  members,  and  a  House  of  Represen 
tatives  of  75  members — all  elected  for  two 
years.  Their  pay  is  $4  a  day.  The 
governor  is  elected  for  two  years ;  salary, 
§2,000. 

Of  religious  denominations,  the  Bap 
tists,  Methodists  and  Presbyterians  are 
the  most  numerous. 

There  are  five  colleges  in  the  state  : — 
Greeneville  College,  founded  1794,  has  a 
library  of  4,000  vols.  Washington  Col 
lege,  founded  1794.  University  of  Nash 
ville,  founded  1806 ;  6,000  vols.  in  the  libra 
ries.  East  Tennessee  College,  at  Knox- 
ville,  founded  1807 ;  3,500  volumes  in  the 
libraries;  and  Jackson  College,  near  Co

1,500  volumes.

fore  by  the  French.  In  1731  the  French 
made  a  settlement  at  Crown  Point,  and 
built  a  fort.  New  York  and  New  Hamp 
shire  both  laid  claim  to  the  territory  of 
Vermont,  giving  rise  to  many  disputes, 
which  were  protracted  until  the  revolution. 
In  1778  a  constitution  was  adopted,  and 
Vermont  declared  to  be  an  indepen 
dent  state.  In  1791,  she  was  admitted 
into  the  Union.  Vermont  bore  a  distin 
guished  part  in  the  revolution.  Her 
troops  were  called  the  "  Green  Mountain 
boys." 

The  Green  Mountains,  from  which  Ver 
mont  receives  her  name,  on  account  of  the 
evergreens  which  cover  them,  range 
through  the  centre  of  the  state  from  S.  to 
N.  They  are  from  12  to  15  miles  wide, 
and  completely  covered  with  wood  and 
shrubs.  On  the  tops  the  trees  are  small, 
and  diminish  into  shrubbery  of  spruce 
and  hemlock.  The  summits  of  the  moun 
tains  are  generally  broken  and  rocky,  and 
the  sides  in  many  places  precipitous. 
The  highest  elevations  are  Killington 
Peak,  near  Rutland ;  Camel's  Rump,  be 
tween  Burlington  and  Montpelier;  and 
Mansfield  Mountain,  which  rise  from 
3,500  to  4,000  feet  above  tide. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Connecti 
cut,  (which  forms  the  E.  boundary,)  On 
ion,  La  Moille,  Missinqua,  and  Otter  cr. 
which  fall  into  Lake  Champlain,  and 
White,  Pasumpsic  and  West  rs.  which 
flow  into  the  Connecticut.  Lake  Mem- 
phremagog  is  in  the  N.  part  of  the  state. 

The  chief  towns  are  Burlington,  Mid- 
dlebury,  Windsor,  Bennington,  Brattle- 
boro',  and  Montpelier,  the  capital. 

The  climate  is  cold  and  severe  in  win 
ter,  but  the  air  is  pure  and  healthy.  The 
soil  in  many  parts  is  fertile,  but  it  is  chief 
ly  appropriated  to  raising  stock.  '  Large 
flocks  of  the  finest  sheep  are  to  be  seen  on 
the  rich  pastures,  and  great  quantities  of 
wool  are  annually  produced.  Since  the 
completion  of  the  Champlain  Canal,  much 
of  the  trade  finds  its  way  to  New  York. 
There  is  also  considerable  trade  with 
Montreal.  Iron  exists  in  great  abun 
dance.  Lead,  zinc  and  copper  are  found 
in  many  parts  of  the  state. 

The  principal  denominations  of  Chris 
tians  are  Congregationalists  and  Baptists, 
of  which  the  former  are  the  most  numer 
ous. 

The  Legislature  consists  of  a  Senate 
and  House  of  Representatives.  The  Sen 
ate  has  30  members — the  House  has  one 
representative  from  each  town.  They 
are  all  elected  annually.  Tke  governor 
is  elected  annually,  with  a  salary  of  $750. 

There  are  three  colleges  in  the  state : — 


The  University  of  Vermont,  at  Burling 
ton,  founded  in  1791,  which  contains 
9,000  volumes  in  the  college  and  students' 
libraries ;  Middlebury  College,  founded 
in  1800,  with  libraries  of  6,000  volumes; 
and  Norwich  University,  founded  1834. 
Considerable  attention  is  paid  to  the  gen 
eral  education  of  the  young.  The  schools 
are  supported  by  yearly  taxes,  and  a  fund 
is  now  accumulating,  the  income  of  which 
is  to  be  applied  to  supporting  free  schools. 

Population  at  different  periods:  in  1790, 
85,539;  1800,  154,465;  1810,  217,895; 
18-20,  235,764  ;  1830,  280,657. 

Internal  Improvements. — Except  some 
small  canals  for  the  improvement  of  the 
Connecticut  river,  no  canal  or  rail  road 
has  yet  been  constructed  in  this  state.  In 
1835,  the  following  rail  road  companies 
were  incorporated : 

"  Vermont  Central  Rail  Road  Compa 
ny,"  for  a  rail  road  from  Lake  Champlain 
along  the  valley  of  Onion  r.  to  a  point  on 
the  Connecticut  r.  to  meet  a  projected  rail 
road  through  New  Hampshire,  by  way 
of  Concord,  to  Boston. 

The  Brattleboro'  and  Bennington  Rail 
Road  Company;  the  Connecticut  and 
Pasumpsic  River  Rail  Road  Company; 
and  the  Rutland  and  Connecticut  River 
Rail  Road  Company.

Pop.  1830,  3,912;  1835,  4,290.  The  sur

VIRGIN  I  A,  one  of  the  United 
States,  bounded  N.  and  NE.  by  Pennsyl 
vania  and  Maryland,  E.  by  the  Atlantic, 
S.  by  North  Carolina  and  Tennessee,  and 
W.  and  NW.  by  Kentucky.  It  is  the 
largest  state  in  the  Union.  Its  average 
length  E.  and  W.  is  355  miles;  average 
breadth  190  miles,  comprising  an  area  of 


65,600  square  miles. 
Virginia,    sometii 


sometimes  called  the  "  An 
cient  Bominion,"  was  the  first  settled  of 
all  the  American  colonies,  and  was  named 
in  honor  of  Elizabeth  the  virgin  queen. 
James  river  was  discovered  in  1607,  by 
an  expedition  under  Captain  Newport, 
accompanied  by  the  celebrated  Captain 
Smith.  They  formed  a  settlement  at 
Jamestown,  and  suffered  much  by  famine 
and  the  hostilities  of  the  Indians.  Smith 
was  taken  prisoner,  and  when  about  to 
be  executed,  he  was  saved  by  the  interpo 
sition  of  Pocahontas,  the  king's  daughter. 
Such  were  the  sufferings  of  the  colonists, 
that  the  remnant  which  remained  were  on 
the  eve  of  departure  for  England  in  1610, 
when  the  timely  arrival  of  lord  Delaware 
prevented  it.  In  1620,  a  Dutch  vessel  ar 
rived  in  James  river  with  20  African 
slaves,  which  was  the  first  introduction  of 
slavery  into  the  North  American  colonies. 
In  1622,  the  Indians  made  a  sudden  and 
desperate  attack  upon  the  settlers,  and 
347  whites,  including  women  and  chil 
dren,  were  dreadfully  massacred.  A  se 
vere  and  vindictive  war  followed  this 
aggression,  all  improvements  were  for  a 
while  suspended,  and  the  colonists,  re 
duced  and  harassed,  were  again  disposed 
to  abandon  the  country.  Relief  was  im 
mediately  despatched  from  England,  and 
the  direction  of  affairs  was  confided  to  a 
governor  and  council  appointed  by  the 
king.  After  various  vicissitudes,  the 
colony  settled  down  into  tranquillity,  and 


tion  was  formed ;  which  was  revised  in 
1830,  by  a  convention,  over  which  the 
venerable  ex-president  Madison  presided. 
Of  the  eight  presidents  of  the  United 
States,  Virginia  has  given  four. 

The  surface  of  the  state  presents  several 
parallel  chains  of  mountains,  commencing 
about  180  miles  from  the  sea,  and  running 
in  a  SW.  direction.  The  Alleghanies 
have  their  widest  base  in  this  state,  occu 
pying  the  central  regi6n  from  80  to  100 
miles  in  breadth.  Between  these  ridges 
are  valleys  of  the  greatest  fertility.  The 
eastern  section  is  generally  level,  the  soil 
sandy,  and  not  very  productive,  except 
along  the  rivers,  which  is  exceedingly  fer 
tile.  Above  the  falls  of  the  rivers,  the 
land  is  better,  and  admits  of  profitable 
cultivation.  The  section  west  of  the  Al 
leghanies  is  mountainous  and  broken, 
interspersed  with  rich  valleys  and  lime 
stone  country  ;  a  large  portion  of  which 
is  covered  with  forest  trees.  The  climate 
is  diversified  according  to  the  face  of  the 
country.  In  the  low  alluvial  parts,  it  is 
hot  and  unhealthy ;  the  summers  are  long 
and  oppressive,  and  the  winters  mild  and 
agreeable.  In  the  mountainous  districts, 
the  weather  is  considerably  colder,  and 
the  air  more  salubrious. 

Iron  ore,  lead,  coal  and  gypsum,  abound 
in  the  mountain  region,  and  gold  has  been 
obtained  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  state, 
between  the  Potomac  and  James  rivers — 
chiefly  in  Spottsylvania  co.  and  neigh 
borhood.  Salt  springs  are  numerous. 
There  are  many  mineral  springs  in  the 
mountains,  and  hot  springs  in  Bath  county 
and  neighborhood.  Among  the  natural 
curiosities  of  Virginia,  the  greatest  are 
Weyers  cave,  and  the  natural  bridge. 
The  former  is  in  Augusta  county,  and 
was  discovered  in  1806,  by  a  hunter, 
whose  name  it  bears.  The  splendor  and 
magnificence  of  its  halls  and  apartments 
exceed  all  description.  The  natural 
bridge,  or  rock  bridge,  is  formed  by  a 
great  rock  thrown  across  an  enormous

made  hostile  encroachments,  which  again 
involved  the  colony  in  the  calamities  of 
war.  It  was  during  this  war  that  the 


youthful  Washington  first  distinguished  I  another    cave

WASHINGTON  City,  in  the  District 
of  Columbia,  the  seat  of  the  general  gov-( 


ernment,  is  situated  on  the  NE.  side  of 
Potomac  river,  near  the  head  of  tide,  and 
about  125  miles  from  its  mouth,  and  295 
from  the  ocean.  The  plan  of  the  city  is 
admirably  laid  out  for  the  display  of  the 
public  buildings.  The  avenues  are  10  in 
number,  and  named  after  different  states. 
These  diverge  from  two  principal  centres, 
at  one  of  which  is  the  President's  house, 
and  at  the  other  the  capitol.  The  smaller 
streets  generally  cross  each  other  at  right 
angles.  The  Pennsylvania  avenue, 
which  is  beautifully  adorned  with  trees, 
forms  a  direct  communication  between 
the  capitol  and  the  President's  house. 
The  city  is  laid  out  on  a  plan  embracing 
upwards  of  8  square  miles,  but  the  build 
ings  occupy  but  a  small  portion  of  that 
surface,  and  are  much  scattered. 

The  capitol  is  a  splendid  edifice,  of  the 
Corinthian  order,  built  of  white  freestone. 
Its  dimensions  are  as  follows : 
Length  of  front,  350  ft. 

Depth  of  wings,  121 

East  projection,  65 

West      do.  83 

Height  of  wings,  70 

Height  of  centre  dome,  120 

Length  of  representatives'  hall,      95 
Height  of  do.  60 

Length  of  senate  chamber,  74 

Height  of  do.  42 

Height  of  rotunda,  90 

Diameter  of  do.  90 

Cost  of  the  building,  upwards  of 
$2,000,000. 

The  capitol  contains  several  pieces  of 
sculpture,  a  fine  library  of  25,000  volumes, 
and  the  national  paintings,  by  Trumbull. 
The  square  on  which  it  is  situated,  con 
tains  22  J  acres,  and  is  enclosed  by  a  sub 
stantial  iron  railing. 

The  President's  house  is  a  beautiful 
building  of  freestone.  170  feet  long  by  85 
wide,  and  two  stories  high,  with  a  high 
basement,  ornamented  with  a  circular 
Ionic  portico.  It  is  about  a  mile  west  of 
the  capitol. 

There  are  several  other  large  buildings 
for  the  accommodation  of  the  departments 
of  the  treasury,  secretary  of  state,  patent 
office,  general  post  office,  &c.  There  are 
also,  in  the  city  and  suburbs,  an  extensive 
navy  yard,  marine  barracks,  an  armory, 
and  a  penitentiary.  Columbian  college  is 
situated  a  mile  N.  of  the  President's 
house.  It  has  8  professors,  and  4,000 
volumes  in  the  library.  The  population 
of  Washington  City,  in  1820,  was  13,247; 
in  1830,  18,333.  It  will  probably  never 
be  a  city  of  much  commercial  importance, 
owing  its  advantages  almost  entirely  to 
its  being  the  seat  of  the  national  govern- 


WAS 


ment ;  but  its  population  is  constantly  and 
rapidly  increasing.  In  the  winter,  during 
the  session  of  Congress,  it  is  a  place  of 
much  fashion  and  gaiety. 

The  city  was  laid  out  under  the  direc 
tion  of  Washington,  while  President. 
The  seat  of  government  was  removed 
there  from  Philadelphia,  in  1800,  and  it 
was  incorporated  in  1802.  In  August, 
1814,  the  capitol,  President's  house,  and 
public  offices  were  burnt  by  the  British, 
under  General  Ross,  together  with  the 
valuable  public  library.  The  public  build 
ings  were  rebuilt  soon  after  the  war.  The 
capitol  is  in  N.  lat.  38°  52'  54";  W.  long. 
from  Greenwich,  77°  1'  48".

WEST  Point,  Orange  cp.  N.  Y.  the 
seat  of  the  United  States  Military  Acad

the  revolution ;  situated  on  the  W.  side 
of  the  Hudson,  51  miles  above  New-York. 
From  the  singular  projection  of  this  point 
the  river  is  here  but  half  a  mile  wide;  a 
chain  was  stretched  across  in -the  revolu 


tionary  war,  to  prevent  the  passage  of  tne 
enemy's  ships.  This  was  protected  by 
fort  Clinton,  which  was  erected  on  the 
eminence,  188  feet  high;  and  on  an  island 
near  the  opposite  bank  of  the  river,  other 
batteries  were  erected.  Back  of  fort  Clin 
ton,  and  on  a  still  higher  point,  598  feet 
above  the  river,  fort  Putnam  was  erected, 
which  covered  the  works  below,  and 
commanded  the  river.  This  strong  po 
sition,  so  important  to  the  Americans, 
was  equally  desired  by  the  British.  To 
deliver  this  fortress  and  all  the  garrison 
into  the  hands  of  the  enemy,  was  the  ob 
ject  of  Arnold's  treason,  for  which  the  un 
fortunate  Andre  suffered.  The  plain  on 
which  the  academy,  barracks,  &c.  are 
situated,  covers  about  250  acres  of  land.

professors  and  instructors,  and  the  course 
of  study  occupies  4  years.  A  chaste  mar

"  upwards  of  4,600  feet  high.  In  Coos  co. 

the  northern  part  of  the  state,  the  White 
Mountains  reach  their  greatest  elevation. 
They  are  the  highest  mountains  in  the 
U.  S.  except  the  Rocky  Mountains,  and 
are  celebrated  for  their  bold  and  magnifi 
cent  scenery.  Mount  Washington,  the 
loftiest  summit,  is  6,428  feet  above  the  le 
vel  of  the  sea,  and  is  composed  of  im 
mense  rocks  of  granite  and  gneiss,  fantas 
tically  heaped  up  by  nature.  The  view 
from  the  top  is  indescribably  sublime  and 
beautiful.  The  highest  summits  are  cov 
ered  with  snow  the  greater  part  of  the 
year.  They  are  sometimes  seen  from  the 
sea  60  m.  distant.  The  other 


isu

eminences  are  Mounts  Adams,  Jefferson, 
Madison,  Monroe,  Franklin,  and  Pleas 
ant,  which  are  from  4,340  to  5,385  feet

called  The  Notch,  which  forms  a  passage 
between  these  rugged  steeps,  by  which 
travellers  may  ascend  to  the  top  of  Mount 
Washington.
